    Additionally, you can’t repurpose a used shipping container since it’s nearly impossible to determine if and/or what hazardous materials have been shipped in one over the course of it’s life. So all of these concepts rely on net new containers, which completely nullifies the whole point.

      There are a lot of shipping containers that have been used only once, due to US/China exports imbalance. These are available at a good price, or at least were when I looked at this like seven years ago.

      (Still plenty of other problems though.)
