Plastic Waste Crisis

Secureseal Offers Sustainable Solution to Growing  in Global Logistics

April 11, 2025 — With global plastic production reaching 430 million tonnes annually, and nearly two-thirds of it becoming waste within a short time, the logistics industry is under increasing pressure to address its environmental impact.

One overlooked contributor is the widespread use of single-use plastic trailer seals. Every delivery made using a sealed trailer may seem minor in isolation, but on a global scale, the waste adds up quickly. The UK alone sees 153 million trailer deliveries annually, transporting 1.5 billion tonnes of goods. In the United States, trucks move an estimated 11.4 billion tonnes of freight each year.

Taken globally, even if only a fraction of these shipments use disposable plastic seals, the cumulative environmental toll is staggering.

Secureseal, a leading innovator in transport security solutions, is calling for a shift towards sustainable practices with its permanent, tamper-evident sealing system. Unlike traditional single-use seals, Secureseal provides a reusable, durable, and eco-friendly alternative that reduces plastic waste without compromising security.

“It’s a small change with a big impact,” said a Secureseal spokesperson. “Our solution not only helps companies cut down on plastic usage, but also delivers long-term cost savings and operational efficiency.”

As sustainability becomes a core priority for logistics and transport providers, the adoption of environmentally responsible technologies like Secureseal is expected to grow. With millions of deliveries made daily around the world, the time to act is now.
