Old Containers Become New Container Houses: Our Company Supports Energy Saving
Converting used second-hand containers into container houses has given the used boxes that "retire" from our company each year a strong new path forward.
On site you can see that this apartment project uses retired second-hand containers as raw material. After conversion and fit-out they become modular container housing for student accommodation. The project plans to use about 450 twenty-foot used containers to provide the school with 300 student dormitory units plus office, living, and recreation facilities. Phase one uses 220 twenty-foot used containers; finishes mainly use steel structure and fire-rated, insulated rock-wool panels, delivering 200 student dormitory units.
Containers used in logistics often leave circulation after long service because peeling paint, rust, and similar issues make repair costly. Those retired second-hand boxes still have sound main frames. Finding a full exit from logistics and a new use for old second-hand containers is one of our company's tasks.
Today, using retired second-hand containers as the basic modular unit to build container houses extends service life effectively. Reuse of waste also answers the national call for energy saving and emission reduction and fits circular-economy goals.
Our company has long worked on product innovation and business expansion. Container houses are a key focus. The product uses a "factory manufacture + on-site install" model: fabrication and foundation work can run in parallel. Versus traditional construction, this can cut construction water use and concrete waste by about 60%, construction and fit-out waste by about 70%, shorten the build cycle by more than 40%, save about 50% energy, and raise overall productivity about 2-3 times.
Container houses are durable and highly safe. Load capacity reaches 1.7 tons per square meter, wind resistance reaches force 10, and seismic rating is grade 8. Even in severe natural disasters, freestanding modular units do not shatter, which greatly protects people. Interior finishes mainly use fire-rated, insulated rock-wool panels, further improving safety.
Building materials for portable container houses are mainly steel and composites. After end of life, recovery rates are high, construction waste is low, and impact on the surroundings is very small.
In fact, our company already has years of experience in the housing-container market and many successful cases overseas.
