Tower’s Carbon Calculator: A Practical Tool for Sustainable Logistics
In today’s data-driven world, measurable sustainable logistics efforts are becoming a key priority – especially in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries, where data-led decision-making is essential for shaping responsible and sustainable practices.
To support this shift, we’ve developed our own Carbon Calculator that provides clear, actionable data to help our customers make informed decisions on how to improve their sustainable logistics operations.
As a leader in innovation, Tower Cold Chain is committed to driving sustainability within the supply chain. The development of our carbon calculator aims to yield valuable insights into the environmental impact of not only Tower’s operations, but also support the supply chain industry as a whole by helping to highlight where improvements can be made.
Our proprietary tool gives customers a transparent view of the carbon footprint associated with each shipment. By using it, they can better understand the environmental impact of their logistics choices and identify opportunities for reducing emissions.
The calculator leverages robust datasets from the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero and follows recognised industry frameworks. This ensures that the data it generates is both accurate and aligned with industry standards.
Customers can also work with our sales team to explore the data in more depth. The tool allows for comparisons between Tower’s solutions and equivalent solutions available in the market, offering a detailed analysis of carbon emissions specific to each customer’s requirements.
The tool takes into account several factors, such as the type and quantity of containers, PCM (phase change material) plate temperatures, mode of transportation, distance to be travelled, and total payload weight. This provides a comprehensive estimate of the emissions for each shipment vs solution used.
Once the carbon footprint is calculated, customers receive a detailed carbon analysis report from our team. This report allows for a direct, user-friendly comparison between our containers and equivalent alternative solutions, highlighting the CO2 savings they could achieve with the optimised solution.
Ultimately, the Carbon Calculator not only highlights carbon savings but also helps potential customers identify more sustainable container options while maintaining the required specifications for their logistics needs and sustainable strategies.
Our Carbon Calculator is designed to help customers make practical, environmentally conscious decisions. By providing clear insights into the emissions generated by their logistics operations, we aim to support all of our customers to seamlessly integrate sustainable practices into their supply chains.
