Benefits of Sustainable Packaging
77% of British customers have switched brands because of their environmental policies.
With that in mind, sustainability could be one of the key ways to retain customers. In a world where ecommerce is flourishing and competitors are everywhere, being planet positive could just give you the edge to win that customer over.
And with large businesses incorporating eco-friendly messaging into their brand, being planet positive is becoming less of a selling point and more of an expectation.
Using eco-friendly materials when shipping is an easy way to put sustainability at the forefront of your brand image. With packaging companies like Priory Direct, you can include the 1% for the Planet logo on your packaging.
Frequently Asked Questions
What packaging is the most environmentally friendly?
Reusing boxes and postal bags is the best way to be environmentally friendly with your parcel delivery. But we know that if you’re sending large, fragile, or valuable products, this isn’t always possible. And as a business, your packaging can often be your first impression - so looking new might be important to your brand.
That’s where Priory Direct packaging comes in. As a 100% carbon neutral packaging company, you can’t get more eco-friendly than Priory Direct packaging. And they even offer custom packaging that's carbon neutral.
What packaging is not environmentally friendly?
Using plastic packaging, like poly mailer bags, can be the most harmful to the environment as they can take hundreds of years to decompose. Swapping to paper bags or recycled poly mailers can be a great alternative.
And instead of using bubble wrap why not switch to Flexi-Hex or paper bubble wrap? Read our blog to find more eco-friendly packaging ideas.
Is eco-friendly packaging more expensive?
You might expect sustainable packaging to be more expensive, but at Priory Direct you can get 25 single walled cardboard boxes for less than £5! Check out Priory Direct packaging prices.
It might cost you more initially to invest in eco-friendly packaging but it will keep those more planet-conscious customers coming back. Have you considered offsetting the costs of packaging? For example, you could increase the price of your products or choose cheaper parcel delivery.
