SkyCell, in partnership with Emirates SkyCargo, has unveiled Net ZERO Reverse, a game-changing initiative designed to drastically cut CO2 emissions in pharmaceutical logistics.
Key Features of Net ZERO Reverse
✅ 90% CO2 Emission Reduction 🌱
✅ No Need for Air Return of Empty Containers 🛳️
✅ One-Way Lease Model with Ocean Freight Reverse Logistics
✅ Cost Savings & Operational Efficiency at Scale
How It Works
💊 Step 1: Pharma shipments travel via air in SkyCell’s hybrid containers, which already offer lower emissions than traditional options.
📦 Step 2: Once delivered, empty containers are returned via low-emission ocean freight, eliminating unnecessary air freight emissions.
🌍 Step 3: Any remaining emissions are permanently removed through high-quality carbon removal projects.
The Impact
🔹 SkyCell 1500X Hybrid Containers save 5-10 tons of CO₂e per pallet compared to traditional active containers.
🔹 Net ZERO Reverse further reduces emissions by 15-28 tons of CO₂e per pallet (e.g., Chicago to Sydney route).
🔹 Less than 0.05% temperature excursion rate, ensuring pharmaceutical integrity.
Industry Leaders Weigh In
🔹 Richard Ettl, CEO of SkyCell:
“Pharma supply chains are at an inflection point. CO2e is now a key criterion, and Net ZERO Reverse is our answer to these challenges. By using ocean freight returns, we cut emissions while boosting efficiency and cost-effectiveness.”
🔹 Emirates SkyCargo Collaboration:
Working with first partners like Emirates SkyCargo, SkyCell aims to lead sustainable innovation in pharma logistics while supporting global net-zero goals.
With Net ZERO Reverse, SkyCell and Emirates SkyCargo are redefining sustainability in pharmaceutical logistics, offering an eco-friendly, cost-efficient, and reliable supply chain solution. 🚀♻️
