Since 2004, SmartWay has helped partners avoid emitting 153 million metric tons of CO2, 2.7 million short tons of NOx, and 112,000 short tons of PM, which helps protect the environment and keep Americans healthy. Based on the most current 2022 rankings, Logistics Plus ranks among the top ten percent in the least amount of CO2 emission grams per mile among the 4,046 active SmartWay partners.
“Our continuing SmartWay partnership and high ranking confirms that Logistics Plus is doing its part for environmental sustainability,” said Adam Mook, Compliance Department Manager for Logistics Plus. “We are proud to receive a renewal of our SmartWay partnership and look forward to working with the EPA to achieve its freight efficiency goals.”
Since 2004, SmartWay has helped its 4,000 partners save 357 million barrels of oil- equivalent to eliminating annual electricity use in over 23 million homes.
