Stores
A storage container is an ideal solution when space is at a premium or you need to protect expensive items from the elements. It is often a choice between purchasing a brand new container or an existing one. It's worth noting that many new containers are available in flat pack form which means you can save on shipping costs and speed up assembly on site. They're still sturdy and secure, as well as man-portable in this form. These cubes are also available in standard heights of 20ft or 40ft. They can be combined to create larger storage areas.

Shipping containers are typically recycled at the end of their useful lives, but it's far more sustainable to reuse containers for other purposes and keep these valuable pieces of steel in circulation for as long as is possible. This will help reduce carbon emissions from the embodied part and minimize the need to further environmental damage by recycling or melting down.
