How SHEIN cuts carbon emissions in its warehouses

The company aims to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 25% in its value chain by 2030.

E-retailer SHEIN is implementing two programmes that will ramp up the reduction of carbon emissions in its warehouses.

In a statement, SHEIN said the first programme is eliminating the use of single-use plastic lunch boxes in its warehouses which was first implemented in April 2022.

Through this, the company decreased the use of disposable plastic lunch boxes in its 10 warehouses by around 2.2 million units, with around 1.19 million units recycled.

Aside from saving 69.6 tonnes of single-use plastic waste, SHEIN said the programme enabled the company to avoid 142 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

“This program is expected to scale and expand across our supply chain, aiming to save 78 tons of single-use plastic lunch boxes and repurpose 60 tons of recyclable or reusable lunch boxes every year,” it said.

SHEIN is also ramping up the adoption of a recycling programme that would stop industrial waste from reaching landfills at end-of-life.

The company is pursuing this by partnering with third-party recycling organisations.

 It has sorted 502 tonnes of industrial waste from one single warehouse as of December 2022, with 75.4% of the total found recyclable. This initiative will be implemented in 10 warehouses in 2023.
