2. The Billion Ton Opportunity: Learn how rightsizing could result in the avoidance of over a billion-tons of emissions along with billions in savings for shippers and carriers.

• Reduce packaging costs by 10%+: More corrugate, more costs. Smaller boxes, less corrugate and void fill. One international retailer reported a $1.3M in packaging savings from a single DC.
• Reduce transportation Costs by 10%+: Extra packaging impacts results in heavier packages, increased dimensional charges and can trigger oversized charges. The same retailer reported a $.50-$.60 savings per piece for an annual $450K ireduction in transportation charges.
• Reduce corrugate by 20%+ : One shipper reported avoiding the equivalent of 60 acres of cardboard, and another 5,600 trees worth of cardboard. Paccurate reports about 1 ft^2/ 0.09m^2 corrugate saved per carton.
• Reduce dunnage/void fill: Less empty space means less empty space to fill with paper and plastic void fill.
• Increase transportation capacity: Each 1% reduction in package size equals a 1% increase in trailer capacity. One international retailer reported increasing their trailer fill rates from 800 to 1,400 per trailer, a 75% increase in capacity, and Paccurate reports an average 16% capacity increase.
• Reduce transportation impacts: Planes and trucks almost always cube out before they weigh out. Reducing the size of your shipments, reduces the number of trucks and planes required, e.g. one shipper reported from a single location, requiring 90 less truckloads, and analysis for a large carrier showed that in just one market, it could reduce its fuel usage by 2M gallons and their costs by over $10 million annually for each 1% reduction in  average package size.
• Improve Customer Experience: Customers hate oversized boxes. Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn are filled with consumer rants about oversized packaging.
• Reduce claims: Oversized packaging can result in increased claims from the items moving around inside the box. One shipper that had a huge claim problem, reported that after implementing a right sizing solution their claims dropped to almost zero.
• Reduce packaging disposal impacts: While a large percentage of corrugate is recycled, recycling still takes energy and you can’t infinitely recycle corrugated material. The plastic pouches used for void fill mostly can’t be recycled and so just adds to our plastic trash crisis.
