In Bulgaria, Renewables Now reported that Chinese online fast fashion retailer SHEIN and Germany’s Lufthansa Cargo have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore initiatives aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of air freight.
The agreement includes plans to scale up the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for SHEIN deliveries and finalize concrete actions within six months. Lufthansa Cargo will provide certificates verifying SAF use and tracing emission reductions compared to conventional jet fuel, based on externally validated standards, according to the report.
“Through this partnership, we aim to pilot and gradually expand the use of SAF where feasible, while continuing to explore additional ways to reduce the carbon footprint across our delivery network” said Ethan Shen, SHEIN’s general manager of global fulfillment.
