Packaging and Transport

Reducing Distances and unneccessary Waste

It does not always have to be the materials that make a product sustainable. The packaging and shipping of a product can contribute a big deal to how environmentally friendly a product actually is.

We at ION have always tried to reduce the packaging size to a minimum to produce as little waste as possible. Most of our wetsuits are not individually packed for the delivery from the supplier to our warehouse and to the dealers, but are delivered in boxes of 5 wetsuits. This for example saves more than 10 tons of cardboard waste every year. On the other hand, shipping is another important component. We try to completely avoid product transports via air freight, because this is the most energy-intensive way to deliver. We rather ship our products with sea freight whenever possible, even if we have to accept that our products are available a little later. In addition, we always want to fully load our containers on the ship in order to not waste any free space and resources.
