Reduced Consumption of Packaging and Transportation
Overview

In the transport of telecommunications equipment, packaging consumes a large amount of timber. In order to reduce the consumption of timber, we extensively use renewable packaging materials and recycle such resources. At the same time, we utilize lightweight materials and smaller packages to minimize over-packaging, continue to focus on the use of appropriate packaging and extend the lifecycle of packaging materials through an effective recovery system. These can be best summarized in our 6R concept, which focuses on: Right design, Reduce supplies, Returnable, Reusable, Recoverable and Recyclable. 

The "Transportation Cabinet + Transparent Package" is a typical solution that supports reusable packaging and transport solutions. Using recyclable wood substitute materials, the solution leverages visualized packaging and introduces modular, standardized and moderate design. This, combined with a common logistics platform, has reduced the consumption of wood and other natural resources, and supports the sustainable development of a resource-saving and environmentally-friendly packaging and logistics industry.

By working in partnership with our customers on their network implementation we have shown that, compared to the existing timber and paper packaging, the "Transportation Cabinet" solution can save more than 90% of the timber previously used, reduce 22% of the packaging weight and raise operational efficiency by about 82%. 

According to Huawei's shipment statistics, with this solution and our continued improvement on key technologies, 11,140 cubic meters of timber, 76,869 kWh of power, and 2,090,000 tons of CO2 emissions will be saved or reduced each year.
