TecPlata achieved a new milestone with its handling of the first carbon-neutral container in Argentina, stepping forward in its commitment to sustainability and reinforcing its position as a leader in innovative logistics solutions.
Through the collaboration with Petrocuyo, LOGIN, and Carbon+, TecPlata successfully implemented practices that prioritize environmental responsibility while ensuring operational efficiency. TecPlata’s carbon neutral port logistics initiative not only sets a new standard across the industry but also demonstrates the company’s dedication to fostering a greener future.
As the first Argentine port to achieve carbon neutrality, TecPlata is committed to driving sustainable practices in the logistics sector and generating a meaningful impact on the environment.
In October 2008, TecPlata S.A. was granted a 30-year concession to build and operate an all-purpose port terminal in the greater Buenos Aires area of Argentina by the Consorcio de Gestion del Puerto La Plata. Built with an investment of US$450 million, TecPlata is Argentina’s most modern container terminal, with an initial capacity of 450,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) capacity, and capable of being extended to 1 million TEUs in the second phase.
