Collapsible shipping containers
Why not replace ordinary shipping containers with collapsible ones? Collapsible containers can be folded when empty, saving space as well as the fuel required to ship the empty boxes.
The containers can be folded vertically, reducing their width down to 1/5 of the original dimensions. Being able to reduce the size of the empty containers will drastically cut down on the amount of backhaul ocean voyages each year, which will reduce emissions.
