Sustainable Packaging Tips
There are many ways to reduce your environmental footprint when it comes to packaging, whether it’s using an alternative material or adjusting your operations. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite ways you can adapt more eco-friendly packaging practices for your business.
Automate your packaging operations.
Automating the packaging process reduces the consumption of materials and improves production. There are also many other benefits of automated packaging such as saving time and money.
Switch to biodegradable loose fill.
One simple way to practice sustainable packaging is by switching to biodegradable loose fill. Our biodegradable loose fill is made from a mixture of corn and potato starch, making it 100% degradable.
Use more efficient packaging material to keep products protected.
Using more efficient materials can help decrease the size and weight of your shipment, which reduces the use and costs of both fuel and energy. This can also save you money overtime by reducing your shipping costs.
Switch to corrugated.
Corrugated boxes and containers are made from a renewable source, they are easy to recycle, and are highly reusable by businesses and consumers alike.
Properly package shipments to reduce damage to your products.
When your shipments arrive safely, you can reduce the amount of returns made which will help minimize your carbon footprint. You can even use protective paper packaging that is 100% renewable to make your packages more sustainable.
