What is Economy Shipping?

Economy Shipping is an approach to logistics and delivery that focuses on minimizing the negative impact on the environment. This is achieved by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and resource consumption through a range of sustainable practices and technologies.

Nordic Computer recommends ECONOMY SHIPPING - If you can wait an extra day or two for your shipping order, your business can save up to 90% CO2 compared to Express Shipping. Not only does Economy Shipping reduce the impact on the environment, but it also benefits your business - you can save significantly on shipping costs and improve your company's sustainable profile.

Nordic Computer: Working with Sustainable Practices

By choosing Economy Shipping, we make sure that as much CO2 as possible is saved during the delivery of an order. Nordic Computer does this in collaboration with our courier partner by offering longer delivery options and clarifying where the packages are going and how we can reduce weight, volume, and space to minimize the need for more trucks.

Nordic Computer packages your order using more sustainable materials, such as recycled paper, recycled cardboard boxes, and recycled wrapping paper. We try to recycle all the packing material we have available, which is why we haven't bought new polystyrene in 5 years. 

Express vs. Economy Shipping

Based on the data we received from our courier, we calculated how much CO2 we could have saved in 2022 if each of our customers had chosen Economy Shipping instead of Express Shipping.

If we imagine that all the shipments sent with Express Shipping in 2022 had been sent with Economy Shipping instead, we could have saved up to 87.000 kg of CO2, which is equivalent to the amount of CO2 that approximately 4,000 mature trees absorb in a year.
