Cold Storage is one term in the logistics and supply chain management world that holds a significant place. It must do everything to preserve perishable goods, whether pharmaceuticals or agricultural and food products, in temperature-controlled environments. These cold storages play a substantial role in ensuring the quality and safety of products.

The Need for Greater and Greener Cold Chain Sustainability

The Environmental Impact of Traditional Cold Chain Operations:

Traditional cold chain operations have for a long period, had a substantial environmental footprint. Many refrigeration systems are energy-intensive and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. According to ORF Online, the lack of adequate cold chains is responsible for 9% of lost production of perishable foods in developed countries and more than 17% in developing countries. This environmental impact underscores the urgency of adopting sustainable practices.

Economic Drawbacks of Inefficient Cold Storage:

Inefficiencies that cold storage operations are dealing with can result in substantial economic losses. The total cost of food waste is estimated at a staggering US$936 billion annually and could rise to US$1.5 trillion by 2030, as reported by ORF Online. These figures underscore the need for innovative solutions to reduce waste and improve cost-effectiveness.

Challenges Of Inefficient & Non-Sustainable Practices:

According to a recent estimate by the Food Agricultural Organisation (FAO), the global population will reach 2.3 billion by 2050. With 85% living in developing countries, the pressure on agricultural activities is immense. There is a pressing need to increase food production by 70% to feed the rapidly growing population placing a tremendous burden on agriculture. Further, it places cold chain logistics at the forefront of the challenge to ensure food security while minimizing its environmental impact

Embracing Energy-Efficiency

Modern cold storage facilities need to embrace energy-efficient solutions, significantly reducing their carbon footprint. By incorporating new-age technologies like AI and IoT and practices, these facilities will contribute to a greener and more sustainable cold chain.

Harnessing Renewable Energy

The adoption of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, plays a pivotal role in making cold storage facilities more eco-friendly. By reducing reliance on non-renewable energy, businesses can align their operations with sustainability goals and reduce their environmental impact.

IoT's Role in Precise Temperature Control

The implementation of IoT technology in temperature-controlled storage facilities ensures precise monitoring. These innovative solutions can help minimize damage, wastage and operational costs ultimately leading to a more efficient and environmentally responsible cold chain.
