For businesses, reducing packaging waste doesn’t have to mean compromising on quality. Here are some simple ways to keep your packaging eco-friendly without losing the charm and protection your products need:
Choose Biodegradable or Recyclable Packaging - Where possible, opt for materials that can either be composted or recycled. Our eco-friendly range includes kraft paper bags and compostable boxes that are both practical and stylish!
Reduce Excess Packaging - Over-packaging is one of the biggest culprits of unnecessary waste. Using the right-sized boxes and eliminating extra layers of wrapping helps keep things simple, reducing waste without affecting presentation or protection!
Use Natural Fillers - Instead of plastic bubble wrap or foam, go for biodegradable packing fillers like shredded recycled paper or compostable packing peanuts. They do the same job but are much kinder to the planet. We use them here and haven't looked back!
Encourage Reuse - Consider packaging that customers will want to hold onto, like sturdy boxes or cloth bags. Adding a small note encouraging reuse can also help spread the message of sustainability to your customers!
Offer Incentives for Eco-Friendly Choices - Encourage customers to choose sustainable options by offering small perks—such as a discount for returning packaging for reuse or an incentive for opting out of excess wrapping.
