Chainalytics’ Sustainable Packaging Solution for Global HVAC Company Wins Supply Chain Sustainability Award

Atlanta, GA (December 11, 2019) — Chainalytics, a recognized global leader in supply chain consulting, analytics, and market intelligence, announced that it is a proud recipient of the 2019 Green Supply Chain Award chosen by Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the executive’s user manual for successful supply and demand chain transformation.

Specifically, the company was recognized for its packaging engineering work at a leading global HVAC company. Chainalytics’ customer sought to standardize its packaging design for air conditioner units – a large, heavy, and high-value product category. Chainalytics’ packaging consultants engineered a more sustainable design which offered easier handling, safer stacking, and an overall smaller footprint that improved shipping efficiency and storage density.

“Our analysis found more than $5 million in annual cost savings along with multiple sustainability benefits,” explained Rich Lindgren, Sr. Manager in Chainalytics’ Packaging Optimization practice. “Beyond the significant cost savings, we also helped our client eliminate 100% of the polystyrene and other non-recyclable components, decrease corrugated usage by 10%, and lower overall transportation emissions.”

Now in its twelfth year, the annual Green Supply Chain Award recognizes providers of supply chain solutions and services assisting their customers in achieving measurable sustainability goals as well as those companies working to achieve measurable sustainability goals within their own operations and supply chains.

“Every year our Green Supply Chain Award recipients demonstrate what is achievable in supply chain sustainability,” says John R. Yuva, editor for Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “It is clear that while sustainability is not a new concept, there is always more we can accomplish. We extend our congratulations to this year’s award recipients and their commitment to green initiatives. The entries serve as best-in-class examples for other companies to model and create value for their supply chains.”
