Episode 9: How is sustainable packaging redefining air cargo operations?

Welcome to the ninth episode of Future of Transport: Innovative and Sustainable, delivered to you by Edmonton International Airport (YEG).

Studies show that 11 million tonnes of plastic enter the oceans every year. Nearly 1,300 marine species have been affected by plastic ingestion. A significant percentage of that plastic comes from packaging. So we need a packaging solution that keeps goods safe in transit and is also sustainable.

In this episode of Future of Transport, we examine how sustainable packaging is transforming air cargo logistics—and why collaboration across airlines, airports, freight forwarders, and shippers is essential.

Featuring industry leaders from BioNatur Plastics, Amazon Air Cargo, DHL Supply Chain, Silpack Industries, and Cold Chain Technologies.

From biodegradable materials to reusable systems and smarter design, discover how packaging choices impact emissions, operational efficiency, and the future of global trade.

Sustainability is no longer optional. It’s operational.
