Waste management

As a logistics service provider in fashion, we handle waste generated at various stages of the fulfilment process, especially during the unpacking and repacking of products for storage and shipment.

Our goal is to continuously reduce waste by investing in warehouse technologies, mechanisation, efficient carton packaging techniques, optimising orders, and reducing the number of returns.

This approach not only enhances productivity but also boosts efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Electric last-mile distribution

We invest in electric last-mile distribution with selected partners. The growth of e-commerce continues to increase the number of shipped and returned packages.

In our selection process for last-mile carriers, we critically assess their ability to reduce CO2 emissions per package. Modexpress also contributes to reducing CO2 emissions by avoiding expedited air shipments in certain regions and offering flexibility in inventory management when demand changes.

Energy consumption

With over 200,000 m² of warehouse space, Modexpress consumes significant energy for lighting, automation, handling equipment, heating, and computer use. We critically evaluate energy consumption per square metre, per shipment, and per return.

By monitoring usage and investing in initiatives like replacing standard lighting with LED lighting, energy-efficient equipment, and motion sensors, we manage our total energy consumption and identify further optimisation and savings opportunities. Additionally, we use green energy and encourage our employees to act in an energy-conscious manner.

Recycling and sustainable packaging

We use recyclable materials in our packaging, with the aim of reducing waste. We pay attention to both the types of materials we use and their quantities.

We consume less cardboard through automated right-sizing solutions, reusing packaging, and recycling. Additionally, we are working towards 100% plastic-free solutions for our customers.

Refurbishment

At Modexpress, we ensure that items that can no longer be sold as new are cleaned and repaired. Extending the lifespan of clothing and other products saves resources.

As part of our sustainability strategy and as fashion expert, we offer our customers various options in this area. Together, we reduce the percentage of unsellable goods and promote a sustainable approach.
