86、ts by truck to shipments by rail and ship,which have a smaller environmental footprint,as well as more efficient packing that maximizes the volume of goods moved in a single shipment.The modal shift expands our use of rail shipments by leveraging 31-foot rail containers,which can carry loads normall
87、y conveyed by a 10-ton truck,as well as high ceiling containers that facilitate shipment of large products by rail.More efficient packing reduces CO2 emissions in the product shipment stage.This greater efficiency is achieved primarily through re-examining the shapes of our products and packages,as
88、well as re-engineering our packing methods.We are also reducing the volume of disposable packaging materials and using lighter-weight and more compact packaging in the earliest design and development stages of our products.These measures immediately reduce distribution costs as well as lower the env
