A new way of stacking goods reduces our carbon footprint

We aim for a 50% CO2 reduction per production hour by 2025.

At DAFA, we strive towards reducing our environmental impact by continually improving our processes and products. One of our initiatives has been to rethink our packaging boxes and optimize the way we stack goods during transportation. Therefore, when it is possible, we compress the goods more efficiently on pallets, which optimizes the space during transportation.

Our new method of stacking means that more products can be shipped at once, which reduces the number of departures. For example, the transportation optimization of our vapor barrier tape alone annually saves 5200 kg of CO2 emissions.

According to Statistics Denmark, this instance is the equivalent of an average petrol-engine car from 2020 driving approximately five times around the globe. Before, we placed 720 rolls of vapor barrier tape on one pallet, whereas today, we only place 620 rolls on the same pallet, making it possible to stack two pallets. This means that we can ship almost double the amount of vapor barrier tape compared to before.

As DAFA is located in 8 countries worldwide and has production facilities in Denmark, Italy, Poland, and China, we are always close to our customers, partners, and suppliers. This means that emissions caused by transportation are further limited.

Therefore, with our optimized way of stacking goods and our international presence, we are able to deliver efficiently and with lower environmental impact.
