“Are foldable containers the future? 'Half the trucks are running empty’”
RTV Rijnmond looks at why container transport keeps moving empty, and what an engineered foldable system changes about that.

De Telegraaf's financial desk covers the economics behind Box2Build's foldable system — fewer empty repositioning moves, lower cost per cycle.
“Four empty containers for every one foldable sea container: substantial savings”

“A container that folds like a supermarket crate”
West Vandaag covers the fold in action: empty transport and storage at a fifth of the space of a fixed container, fewer trips, less yard space.
(Item starts at the 11:00 mark, Dutch spoken.)
WorldCargo News' July/August issue covers how FOX-bulk closes the loop in steel logistics — fewer empty return trips, more flexibility across the supply chain.

The ubiquitous steel container, responsible for transporting over 80% of the world’s freight by volume, leaves a substantial carbon footprint. This white paper elucidates the complexities and challenges the container shipping industry faces in achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, with specific emphasis on the industry's current emissions.
A quick guide to container ISO testing (and its' background). Cheap and fast transportation finds its roots in the standardization of the shipping container as we know it today. April 26th in 1956 marks the birth of the container as we know it now. And after that date the container fleet started to grow rapidly.

The container is seventy years old this year. It changed how goods cross oceans, but not what happens to an empty box on land. Inland, an empty container still takes a full truck to move and a full parking spot to keep. FOX-storage folds five into one. Fewer depots, fewer trucks, less planning.
FOX Storage and Continest's foldable temporary infrastructure now work as one logistics system, reducing transport, simplifying deployment and creating more value for temporary infrastructure projects.
The Alabama steel project shows how engineering transport equipment can transform the economics of circular supply chains. Discover how Box2Build, Clipper Bulk Shipping and Outokumpu redesigned logistics by reducing structural empty transport.
Certifying a foldable container is more demanding than the standard suggests - and more demanding still when the container type has never been certified before. We have been running that process since 2010, across multiple foldable container types, with recognised class societies including ABS and Lloyd's Register. This article explains what the process actually requires, and what fifteen years of doing it has taught us.
Standard containers make short-term rental uneconomical, require multiple regional depots, and tie up yard space whether units are working or not. The FOX-storage 5:1 fold ratio changes all three. Here is what that looks like in numbers.
Foldable containers don't solve the empty container problem. They compress it. Here's the difference.
Foldable containers have been part of our work since 2008. What started with developing the world's first fully certified foldable 40HC shipping container taught us as much about the limits of innovation as about its possibilities. This is what fifteen years of building, operating, and commercializing foldable containers in global logistics actually looks like.
What starts as a clean CAD model rarely survives first contact with steel, welding and ISO testing. On the occasion of his 18th year in container engineering, Arthur reflects on the redesigns, factory floors and real-world lessons that define how he engineers today.
Foldable FOX-bulk containers reduce empty return transport by up to 75%. Calculate savings per route and see how fewer trucks, lower fuel use and less yard space translate directly into fast payback.
In container rental, profitability is no longer defined by fleet size alone. The real challenge lies in what happens between rental cycles: idle containers, congested yards, and rising operational costs. This article examines why storage inefficiency has become a hidden bottleneck and how forward-thinking operators are addressing it.
Discover the foldable storage container – a lightweight, cost-efficient, and sustainable solution for inland logistics. Folding 1:5, it saves space and transport costs while serving industries from humanitarian aid to infrastructure projects
Discover how Box2Build’s foldable hard top dry bulk shipping containers optimize space and reduce logistics costs in maritime transport. Designed for durability and easy stacking, these containers improve efficiency and sustainability in bulk shipping operations
Foldable containers have long remained in the concept phase, with most solutions limited to prototypes and small pilot fleets. Real deployment in logistics, mining, and industrial storage has been rare. Box2Build has taken a different approach by focusing on production, engineering, and real-world use.
Standard containers don’t always fit unique needs. Optimize efficiency, cut costs, and enhance operations with Box2Build’s tailored container solutions. Let’s build smarter.
The demand for custom containers is rising, and upfront expertise makes all the difference. At Box2Build, we ensure tailored, efficient, and compliant solutions from design to deployment.
The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will impact materials like steel used in containers. Businesses must adapt to stay competitive and sustainable. Let Box2Build help you prepare.
