How can we move art with the lowest environmental impact? How can we make tangible impact, at scale, now?
It’s well known that sending art by sea significantly reduces the carbon footprint of fine art shipping and is advisable whenever timeframes permit.
However there is another, more accessible way of reducing the carbon footprint of a fine art shipment by over 90% when traveling by any means.
Progress on climate is underpinned by thoughtful, informed decisions, and we believe that focussing on independently assessed data will keep the world, and the world of art, moving forward.
A recent independent Life Cycle Analysis of the environmental impact of commonly-used fine art crates found that ROKBOX crates reduce the carbon footprint of every fine art shipment by at least 90% rising to 95% depending on the journey, when compared to reusable fibreglass crates, cardboard crates and various specifications of wooden crates.
In this presentation we'll dig into the report and share insights on the numbers that matter, so artists, collectors, galleries, musuems and auction houses can make informed decisions for the safekeeping and preservation not only of artworks but also society and the wider world.
