Fibertex Personal Care has expanded over the last years in terms of production capacity and global presence – and this has of course increased the number of trucks used for transportation in our entire supply chain. As this is a huge contributor to road congestion as well as CO2 emissions – we wanted to put new focus on this.
We have worked diligently with our customers on reducing the volumes moved by road transport and also looked into the possibility of substituting road transport with rail transport, without compromising our customers’ expectations to transit time and flexibility.
From our facility in Denmark – to customers in Italy – we have succeeded in converting a major part of the transport from road to rail transport. By using a rail solution from Padborg to Verona, we have attained a carbon foot print saving of approx. 30%.
