Environmental impact and energy consumption should be considered as criteria when designing or selecting alternative equipment and material handling system.
- Environmental consciousness stems from a desire not to waste natural resources and to predict and eliminate the possible negative effect of our daily actions on the environment.
- Containers, pallets and other products used to form and protect unit loads should be designed for reusability when possible and / or biodegradability after disposal.
- Material specified as hazardous have special needs with regard to spill protection, combustibility and other risks.
