DES PLAINES, Ill. - May 10, 2024 - PRLog -- CJ Logistics America today announced that it has submitted and received approval for their current data submission to the SmartWay^® Transport Partnership, an innovative collaboration between U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and industry. The SmartWay Transport Partnership provides a framework to assess the environmental and energy efficiency of goods movement supply chains.

CJ Logistics America will continue to contribute to the Partnership's savings of 379 million barrels of oil, $52 billion on fuel costs and 162 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, 2.8 million short tons of nitrogen oxides and 114,000 short tons of PM.

Developed jointly in early 2003 by EPA and Charter Partners represented by industry stakeholders, environmental groups, American Trucking Associations, and Business for Social Responsibility, this innovative program celebrated its 10 year anniversary in 2014. Partners rely upon SmartWay tools and approaches to track and reduce emissions and fuel use from goods movement.
