How to Transport Dangerous Goods with Reusable Packaging
With the growing number of electric vehicles on the streets and increased electrification in many industries, the demand for batteries is expanding significantly. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) the number of new electric vehicle (EV) registrations rose by 63 percent in 2021 as compared to the previous year. Consequently, experts predict battery production capacities in Europe to multiply by a factor of 20 by 2030. The rapid growth of battery production is reshaping automotive supply chains as we know them. “Lithium-ion batteries are classified as Dangerous Goods. Thus, they are subject to strict safety regulations during transportation and storage”, says Christian Hemming, Technical Director EMEA at ORBIS…

„Prall gefüllte Innovations-Pipeline“
Die Elektrifizierung ist in vollem Gange: Allein in Europa plant die Automobilindustrie mindestens 150 neue Modelle in den nächsten Jahren. Und auch in anderen Industrien steigt die Nachfrage nach Batterietechnologien und geeigneten Verpackungen. ORBIS Europe, Hersteller von langlebigen Transportbehältern aus Kunststoff, hat UN-zertifizierte Verpackungslösungen für Li-Ionen-Batterien entwickelt. Die Verpackungen sind individuell an die Kundenbedürfnisse und die geltenden Regulierungen angepasst. Lithiumhaltige Batterien werden nach dem internationalen Transportrecht als Gefahrgut eingestuft und fallen unter die Gefahrgutklasse 9. Vom Rohstoff bis zum Recycling durchlaufen Batterien mehrere Metamorphosen: Aus Batteriezellen werden Module, aus Modulen werden Packs. Wenn die Batterien schließlich eine bestimmte Kapazitätsgrenze unterschreiten, werden sie wieder zurückgeführt, z.B. für das Recycling oder die…
