It’s Time to Make the Move to Sustainable eCommerce Packaging
Did you know that it's predicted that 95% of purchases will be online by 2040?! Great news if you're an eCommerce retailer but not so great news for our planet when you think of all the wasteful packaging that will be created. I'd like to challenge you to make a brand commitment to using environmentally responsible packaging.
Getting started doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Start by just doing an audit of the layers of your packaging to ensure there’s nothing unnecessary that could be eliminated. From there, look for packaging made from non-renewable materials that can be switched out for more eco-friendly options.
All the packaging from my fave packaging partner noissue is either compostable, made from recycled/recyclable materials or reusable so if you’re not sure where to even start they’re a pretty good option. It doesn’t hurt that they have low order minimums and make it easy to customize your own branded packaging!
Check out the ideas below for some easy packaging swaps!
Even changing just one layer out for a more responsible option makes a difference, so don’t be discouraged by starting small – it still has an impact!
