California-based GenFlat Containers has developed a more sustainable collapsible Marine Container, replacing traditional Standard Marine Containers.

GenFlat's patented container collapses four empty containers into the space of one Standard Marine Container; the process of collapsing/raising happens in 80 seconds flat, said Drew Hall, Co-Founder and CEO of GenFlat Containers.

"GenFlat containers also have greater strength and rigidity than current Standard Marine Containers, stacking and locking together to function as a single unit, readily deployable for multi-modal transport use. GenFlat containers meet ISO-certified standards (Lloyds Registry)," said Hall.

"Years ago we set out to produce the world's strongest and fastest collapsible shipping container. It's here - GenFlat Containers," stated Hall, announcing the launch of the new product.

These containers reduce repositioning costs, storage space, and carbon emissions by 75%. GenFlat has partnered with CIMC in Dalian, China, to manufacture containers.

"GenFlat's innovative approach to solving many of the problems in the shipping industry today," added Hall. Here are a few of the GenFlat advantages:

• Collapses and expands in under 80 seconds

• Reduces repositioning costs by up to 75%

• Reduces congestion at ports, terminals, depots & other storage facilities

• Reduces fuel consumption, traffic, and emissions
