Green logistics and sustainable removable warehouses

Green logistics is a movement that more and more large and medium-sized companies are joining. The values of sustainability, respect and environmental protection must be demonstrated to the public in general and to the customer in particular on a daily basis. And logistics is a key part of this, as logistics and transport are responsible for a high percentage of pollution in the business environment.

Green logistics and sustainable warehouses go hand in hand to make both the logistics industry and logistics in any type of industry more sustainable and environmentally friendly. At VALL we build sustainable removable warehouses and we help companies to have the storage or production space adapted to their needs. Sustainability is one of our values and we help other companies to meet their objectives to improve sustainability and environmental protection in their businesses. Green logistics comprises different elements and key points: waste recycling, green transport, raw materials and green warehouses are the four main ones. At VALL we have sustainability as a value proposition and we help you to have green warehouses. Do you want to know more about why choosing VALL sustainable removable warehouses helps you to achieve your company's green logistics goals? VALL removable logistic warehouses do not require large foundation works or earthworks, as in the case of fixed warehouses. This, together with the speed of the assembly work, the resource-saving processes and the non-generation of rubble, means that the environmental impact is minimal. The construction elements arrive at the site where the warehouse is to be located ready for assembly and installation. There is no waste. There are no cut-outs. No adjustment work is required for adaptation. What arrives is what is assembled. And there is no waste to deal with. This not only saves on waste generation costs, but also avoids the transport of waste, preventing the expulsion of C02 and polluting particles into the atmosphere. One of the key features of sustainable green logistics warehouses is their construction with recyclable materials. The removable industrial warehouses for logistics of large companies are built with a recyclable steel frame. But their side walls and roofs can also be made of recyclable materials such as sheet metal or sandwich panels made of two layers of steel or textile fibre tarpaulins. Reducing resource consumption is a key to green logistics. This is taken into account in the construction and subsequent use of VALL sustainable removable buildings. The savings in water resources during assembly is absolute, as no water is required. There is no need to make mortar or use plaster. No paint is needed for a perfect finish. This means using fewer resources and avoiding the use of potentially polluting materials. In addition, throughout the life of the removable buildings, no specific maintenance is required. A key resource saving for green logistics. And at the same time a significant monetary saving.

Some raw materials require specific ambient temperature conditions in the storage area in order to be stored under optimum conditions. It is also appropriate for workers and high-precision machines, as far as the goods allow, to maintain a comfortable temperature in the storage and logistics area. The thermal insulation provided by the sustainable VALL relocatable warehouses for logistics allows for excellent energy efficiency. This reduces energy consumption for heating and air-conditioning of the interior. And pollutant emissions are also reduced.

In those areas where it is advisable, a light opaque enclosure can be used, which helps to keep the interior cooler as it does not allow solar radiation to pass through.

Reusability is one of the key features of sustainable removable buildings. If a company requires a new location or its needs change, the removable building can be moved to another location either for its own use or for the use of another company or adapted to a change in size. Reuse is one of the three R's of sustainability, the other two, reduction and recycling, that have already been discussed in this article. The choice of durable elements is key to green logistics and the VALL sustainable removable warehouses complies in this respect. The long life of these logistics warehouses reduces the resources and work required to provide adequate logistics space. It also reduces CO2 emissions.

In addition, they have no specific maintenance requirements and are very easy to repair. It also reduces the waste that the planet has to bear.

Depending on the needs of each company, logistics warehouses can have elements that help to maximise sunlight. This is important in green logistics to minimise energy consumption in spaces where this characteristic is sought. The enclosures can be made of glass or a translucent textile fibre that allows sunlight to pass through during the day, if necessary. It can also have accesses that help to maximise the passage of sunlight if required.
