Hence, it is vital for us to be conscious of the eco effects we laid on our environment. For instance, studies have shown that cargo ships pollute as much as 50 million cars. Hence, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has agreed to reduce cargo ships emissions by 50 % by 2050. One of the main measures was to invest and explore other green energy sources to propel and power cargo ships instead. One great example is the Super Eco Ship 2050, a cargo ship concept that promises zero-emission, due to be launched in the year 2050.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Upcycling shipping containers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are many other ways in which the shipping industry can also hugely impact the environment positively. One of the most impactful ways people can do is by upcycling shipping containers. According to statistics provided by the US Department of Transportation in 2012, more than 700000 loaded shipping containers are abandoned each year in the US. These containers are mainly left in various ports. Therefore, rather than leaving these abandoned containers behind to gradually fall into ruins, why not recycle these abandoned containers to alternate usages efficiently?<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1770391041\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\r\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ishant-mishra-napAS8Izafs-unsplash-1067x800.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ishant-mishra-napAS8Izafs-unsplash-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ishant-mishra-napAS8Izafs-unsplash-scaled-510x383.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ishant-mishra-napAS8Izafs-unsplash-533x400.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ishant-mishra-napAS8Izafs-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ishant-mishra-napAS8Izafs-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ishant-mishra-napAS8Izafs-unsplash-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style scope=\"scope\">\n\n#image_1770391041 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n<p>Shipping Container Port.<em> Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/napAS8Izafs\">Ishant Mishra (@ishant_mishra54) on Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shipping containers to Container homes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Today, the most popular way to upcycle shipping containers is to turn them into container homes. By doing so, steel structures are not wasted without a purpose other than collecting rust and dust. Moreover, by utilising all these steel structures, this, in turn, saves a lot of the usual material cost. The usual material cost would have included the purchase of cement and bricks. Lastly, container homes leave a lesser environmental imprint as it can be torn down or moved away easier than traditional buildings.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1059931526\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\r\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ShippingContainer-Houses-Header-1400x700.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ShippingContainer-Houses-Header-1400x700.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ShippingContainer-Houses-Header-510x255.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ShippingContainer-Houses-Header-800x400.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ShippingContainer-Houses-Header-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ShippingContainer-Houses-Header.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style scope=\"scope\">\n\n#image_1059931526 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n<p>Shipping-container home in Costa Rica. <em>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/redshift.autodesk.com\/shipping-container-home\/\">Benjamin Garcia Saxe<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Other ways to upcycling shipping containers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Other than container homes, shipping containers can also be upcycled for many different purposes.

This new type of greenhouse is created inside of shipping containers that are installed with LED nurture lights, fertilisers, and climate control technologies. With all these technologies in place, it contributes to adjust and replicate any climate to efficiently grow a wide variety of products such as lettuce, fruits, and herbs. This is especially crucial as the world starts to explore more sustainable methods of yield farming.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the benefits of container farms include mobility and cost price to build. Mobility is crucial as container farms mean it can move or be placed around, without commitment to a dedicated piece of place\/land. For instance, it can be placed behind a restaurant where it produces fresh ingredients direct to the kitchen. Likewise, it can also bring food access to places that are not necessarily possible\/easy to grow fresh products. These container farms can also be specialised to grow unique plants for remote researchers and scientists to observe.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_408084882\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\r\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/NOSH-Produce-Container-1024x682-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/NOSH-Produce-Container-1024x682-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/NOSH-Produce-Container-1024x682-1-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/NOSH-Produce-Container-1024x682-1-601x400.jpg 601w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/NOSH-Produce-Container-1024x682-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style scope=\"scope\">\n\n#image_408084882 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n<p>Nosh Produce container farm. <em>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/innovate360.sg\/next-generation-farmers-using-agtech-to-solve-singapores-30-by-30-challenge\/\">Innovate360.sg<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_26027980\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\r\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/na23-vertical-farming1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/na23-vertical-farming1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/na23-vertical-farming1-510x287.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/na23-vertical-farming1-711x400.jpg 711w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/na23-vertical-farming1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style scope=\"scope\">\n\n#image_26027980 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n<p>Inside a container farm stationed at Dubai. <em>Photo: iGrow<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you would like to explore <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/container-customisation\/\">upcycling<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/container-customisation\/\">repurposing<\/a><\/strong> shipping containers for any purposes, feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/contact\/\"><strong>speak to us today<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our environment is important and crucial to us because It is the one that provided us with air, water, food, and other needs.
