“Green” Shipping Tips:
Recycle Packing Materials
PostalAnnex+, Navis Pack & Ship, AIM Mail Center, Handle With Care Packaging Store and Sunshine Pack & Ship stores encourage business owners and residents to bring packing peanuts and bubble wrap to their location for recycling. This keeps these materials out of landfills and reduces the environmental and resource impact of creating more packing materials.
Recycle Corrugated Cardboard
Many trash pick-up services offer recycling bins specifically for corrugated cardboard.
Use the Most Appropriate Sized Box You Can
You–ll need less packaging material. Plus, using a smaller box can cut down on the cost of shipping while saving carbon emissions as delivery vehicles transport more packages in a single load.
“As these tips show, it isn–t difficult to make an impact on global sustainability,” said Goble. “It just takes individuals making up their minds to waste less and use less in their everyday lives and businesses. Together, these individual actions add up to a powerful movement.”
