What a ‘green’ way to utilize the folding technique! Dutch shipping container manufacturer, Cargoshell, developed energy-saving and space-spacing solutions to empty shipping containers by collapsing each one to a quarter of its full size. CO2 emission is reduced drastically by transporting multiple folded Cargoshells in 1 single movement, cutting down on 10,000 trips across the ocean each year. Cargoshell containers are each made of a composite material that weighs 25% less than standard shipping containers, further easing its carbon footprint.

Cargoshells fold and unfold in about 30 seconds
