What is Sustainable Packaging?

FSC Certified

Sustainable packaging is any kind of packaging that is made from materials that are biodegradable or recycled. This includes packaging for wrapping, shipping, cushioning and shelving products, in-store or online. The main goal of sustainable packaging is to eliminate the need for single-use, non-recyclable plastics, and encourage customers to reuse their packaging when possible. This is where things like our sustainable tote bags can be invaluable – a tote bag can be used and reused many, many times before the end of its lifecycle, outperforming even the sturdiest single-use non-recyclable plastic bag.
