Logistics Plus Helps Remove 3.5 Million Kilos of Plastic from the Pacific Ocean
Three million five hundred thousand kilos of plastic is equivalent to 175 million plastic water bottles.
ERIE, PA (October 20, 2022) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, is proud to announce that it has helped finance the collection of 3,500,000 kilos (over 7 million pounds) of ocean plastic through the Restoring Integrity To The Oceans (RIO) Blue Ocean Program over the last two years. Earlier this year, Logistics Plus also received the official (RIO) Plastic Neutrality Certification for 2022, its second year in a row.
The plastics collection was overseen by Ocean Stop! and carried out by indigenous fishermen. The 3,500,000 kilos of plastic collected is equivalent to 175,000,000 plastic water bottles and more than one hundred times the plastic footprint of Logistics Plus. The collection of this much plastic is estimated to save the global economy up to $115,500,000.
RIO Chairman Kieran Kelly expressed his gratitude for working with Logistics Plus. “Logistics Plus has partnered with RIO on multiple environmental projects. This company is the most eco-friendly logistics company in the world, and they are true ocean heroes. Jim Berlin, Yuriy Ostapyak, and the entire team are environmental rockstars.” Kieran added, “We can rid our ocean of plastic waste. It just takes teamwork and commitment to do so.”

Logistics Plus is Named a Top 50 Leading 3PL by Global Trade Magazine
It’s the third time in the past four years Logistics Plus has been honored.
ERIE, PA (October 18, 2022) – Logistics Plus, Inc. (LP), a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, is proud to announce it has been named one of America’s Top 50 best third-party logistics providers by Global Trade magazine. It is the third time in the past four years Global Trade has recognized Logistics Plus as one of its leading 3PL providers.
The 2022 leading 3PL providers list was announced in the September-October edition of Global Trade magazine. The article states, “Each company recognized on our list has been placed in a specific award category. This is not to suggest that it is the only ability or service that 3PL nails for its customers. For instance, we have Logistics Plus under the 4PL/LLP (Lead Logistics Provider) category this year, but the Erie, Pennsylvania-based company would have fit just as worthy of our E-Commerce or Technology awards.”
“Being recognized as an industry leader by a reputable publication like Global Trade is a tremendous honor,” said Jim Berlin, Founder & CEO of Logistics Plus. “As a twenty-first-century logistics company, staying nimble and providing modern solutions to today’s supply chain challenges is what we do.
