From Our Warehouse to You: How We Ship and Deliver Sustainably
The Entire Shipping Process
Redefining Logistics with Sustainability
At Movement Made, sustainability doesn’t stop at the manufacturing process—it extends through every step of our logistics and shipping journey.
From a cutting-edge warehouse in Germany to eco-friendly packaging and shipping, our commitment to reducing environmental impact is at the heart of our fulfillment process.
Here’s how we ensure your Movement Made products arrive sustainably and efficiently.
Step 1: Advanced Warehousing for Maximum Efficiency
Our warehouse in Germany utilizes AutoStore technology, a highly efficient storage system that minimizes environmental impact and maximizes precision.
Key Features:
- Vertical Storage Innovation: Products are stored in a cube-shaped grid system, reducing warehouse space by 6x compared to traditional methods.
- Minimal Energy Consumption: Robots retrieving items consume less energy than a vacuum cleaner, ensuring low operational emissions.
- Dust-Free Storage: Ensures your products remain pristine until shipment.
This system not only improves operational efficiency but also significantly lowers the carbon footprint of our warehousing process.
Step 2: Seamless Inventory Management
Efficiency continues with our real-time stock management system.
- Dynamic Stock Insights: Inventory is tracked continuously to reduce waste and avoid overproduction.
- Accurate Handling: Automated tools and daily reports keep stock levels optimized and transparent.
This ensures that only what’s needed is stored and moved, minimizing surplus and reducing unnecessary resource use.
Step 3: Thoughtful Order Packing
Every package is crafted with care to minimize waste and maximize protection.
Eco-Friendly Packaging:
- Custom-Fit Boxes: Automatic packing machines create tailor-made boxes, reducing excess material and eliminating unnecessary padding.
- FSC-Certified Cardboard: All packaging is sourced from responsibly managed forests, supporting ethical forestry practices.
- Waste Reduction: Transporting 40% less air in our packaging allows more orders to fit per truck, cutting down CO2 emissions.
Sustainable Labelling:
Labels are printed directly onto the box lid, removing the need for additional materials and further reducing waste.
Step 4: Sustainable Shipping Practices
Once packed, your orders are shipped using methods that prioritize the planet.
Key Sustainability Measures:
- Eco-Friendly Fleet: 30% of delivery vehicles used in the last mile are electric, reducing emissions significantly.
- Shorter Routes: Our strategic warehouse location allows us to reduce transportation distances, cutting overall CO2 emissions.
- Trusted Carriers: Collaborations with DHL, UPS, and FedEx ensure reliable delivery while adhering to sustainable practices.
Step 5: Closing the Loop: Efficient Returns
We’ve designed a customer-friendly return process that aligns with our sustainability goals.
- Minimal Waste: Returned products are inspected, restocked, and prepared for resale wherever possible.
- Return Analysis: Insights into return patterns help us improve product design and reduce future returns, contributing to a circular economy.
