Make a Sustainable Choice When You Buy A Used Container
We don't just care about our customers... we care about the planet. Learn more about Eveon's commitment to used over new.
Give a Used Shipping Container a Land-Based Purpose
Every year, an estimated 3 to 6 million new shipping containers are manufactured worldwide. Surprisingly, 13–18% never enter active shipping service and are diverted directly into land-based storage applications.
At Eveon Containers, we are committed to extending the life and purpose of the shipping container. For most storage applications, a quality used container performs just as effectively as a new one.
- •Reduce demand for newly manufactured units
- •Lower embedded carbon impact
- •Minimize industrial waste
- •Support a circular economy
Sustainable Principles From Eveon Containers
We think it's important to help customers order containers in a sustainable way.
We're in business to extend the lifetime of containers
Containers are extremely strong — built to survive desert heat and arctic cold. We believe shipping containers should have a second life after their life with shipping companies.
We try to minimize our impact on the environment
Our containers take the train rather than a truck. We take the train rather than the plane. When we must use planes or trucks, we do it consciously and minimally.
We offset our emissions
We minimize our emissions, but they are not zero. One important way we offset emissions is by including delivery of our containers to our customers.
We publish our environmental performance
On a yearly basis, we publish our environmental performance because we believe accountability is important.
We believe in business as a force for good
We want our business, partners, team, customers, and the world around us to flourish. We are on path to become part of the global B Corp community.
We support & foster sustainable ideas around us
Whether supporting students with an internship or a like-minded entrepreneur, we thrive on collaboration and dream of a network of container changers around us.
Repurposing Used Containers is a Logical Choice
Purchasing a used shipping container from Eveon vs. buying new is good for the planet.
