Container homes are popping up everywhere!
It’s estimated that 90 percent of the world’s trade today moves in containers – containers that crisscross the world’s oceans each year in over 5,000 container ships. After they are used a few times they become used shipping containers that nobody wants so they just sit around taking up space. Designers all over the world are re-inventing the shipping container. They are giving us lots of cool, amazing options and are helping solve some real ecological problems at the same time.
