ABS has long been a cornerstone material across industries, offering unmatched versatility and resilience. However, as sustainability expectations rise, manufacturers are being challenged to rethink how materials are sourced, used, and recovered throughout the supply chain.

Why This Matters for Freight Securement

In freight environments, failure isn’t an option. Materials must perform under pressure—literally.

That’s why the conversation around sustainable ABS isn’t about replacing performance—it’s about enhancing it with smarter material choices. At Logistick, this means exploring solutions that:

• Maintain high strength and reliability
• Reduce waste across the supply chain
• Support closed-loop and circular systems
• Align with our commitment to safety and sustainability

Leading with Recycled and Responsible Materials

One of the most impactful steps forward is recycled ABS.

Logistick products already incorporate post-industrial recycled ABS, reducing environmental footprint while maintaining the strength our customers depend on. In many cases, recycled ABS can:

• Reduce environmental impact by up to 50%
• Lower material costs
• Deliver comparable performance to virgin resin

This is a practical, proven way to improve sustainability today—without waiting on future innovation.

Exploring What’s Next

Beyond recycled content, emerging solutions like bio-attributed ABS, lignin-based materials, and advanced bioplastics are opening new doors.

These innovations offer exciting potential, but like any material used in freight securement, they must meet strict performance standards. That’s why ongoing testing, validation, and real-world application are critical before widespread adoption.

A Smarter, More Sustainable Supply Chain

The shift toward eco-friendly materials isn’t just about compliance—it’s about leadership.

By investing in sustainable material strategies, companies can:

• Improve supply chain efficiency
• Reduce long-term costs and waste
• Strengthen customer trust
• Stay ahead of regulatory and market trends

At Logistick, we see sustainability as an extension of our core purpose—to SECURE our customers’ future through innovation, safety, and smarter solutions.

The Sustainability Imperative: 

Sustainability in logistics means minimizing environmental impact while maximizing efficiency and maintaining economic viability. The good news is that sustainable practices align perfectly with cost-saving measures. This guide dives into the key areas where freight securement makes a difference: 

• Waste Reduction: Damaged shipments lead to significant waste. Proper freight securement prevents product loss, preserves product value, and reduces the need for costly replacements. Industry data reveals that up to 11% of U.S. loads experience some type of product damage, costing businesses over a billion dollars annually. 

• Risk of Shipment Rejection: Major retailers have strict delivery requirements. Poorly secured shipments risk rejection, leading to costly returns and waste. Proper securement ensures that your deliveries meet requirements, minimizing rejections and their environmental impact. 

• Prevention of Spillage: Spills, especially of hazardous materials, pose serious environmental and financial risks. Securement strategies are crucial in preventing these incidents. In 2020, transportation-related hazardous materials incidents cost $44,796,391. 

• Carbon Footprint Reduction and Energy Efficiency: Inefficient space usage and unstable loads increase greenhouse gas emissions. Optimized securement maximizes truck space and reduces the need for extra trips, minimizing your carbon footprint. Road freight accounts for about 7% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. 

• Operational Efficiency and Supply Chain Integrity: Proper freight securement ensures efficient packaging, protects products, and maintains regulatory compliance. It helps extend product lifespan, reduces returns and replacements, and enhances your brand reputation. 

Conclusion: 

Freight securement is pivotal in advancing sustainability within the logistics industry. By adopting efficient, secure, and eco-friendly practices, your business can reduce waste, minimize its carbon footprint, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure regulatory compliance.

SOUTH BEND, IN – May 12, 2022 – The Logistick team was busy in 2021 with another record year of freight secured & waste prevention. The more freight that is secured, the more goods are saved from being landfilled & people are protected. Inherently, the Logistick business model is all about sustainability, but the Team knows there is always room for improvement. “2021 provided a fair share of business challenges, including a tidal wave of material & labor cost increases, compounded by significant supply chain constraints, but our SECURE Green Team still stayed on task & effectively led Logistick to deliver on our 2021 Sustainability Goals. Operationalizing sustainability is a challenge for many organizations, but with the commitment & prioritization of Logistick’s owners, our team successfully prioritizes it.” said Dan Sheehan, VP of Sales & Marketing.

Logistick signed the Climate Neutral Now Pledge in 2021, which was created by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, to commit to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by, or before, 2050.
