Use Recyclable Materials - such as cardboard, paper, and biodegradable plastics.
Minimalist Packaging - Avoid over-packing by using just enough material to protect your item, reducing both waste and volumetric weight.
Reusable Packaging - Try using packaging that can be easily reused by the recipient, promoting a circular economy!
Eco-Friendly Fillers - Replace traditional plastic fillers with sustainable alternatives like shredded paper, biodegradable packing peanuts, or air pillows made from recycled materials.
