If 75 per cent of empty containers were foldable by 2010, it would amount to an estimated 50 per cent reduction in ship cargo movement costs
In an age when the whole world is screaming ‘green’ and energy conservation is the order of the day, the benefits of a foldable container need little elaboration. Prof. Anoop Chawla and Prof. Sudipto Mukherjee from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi – Department of Mechanical Engineering, have successfully designed a container that folds to a fourth of its size. Avinder Bindra, an ex-banker, initiated the invention.
