Transition Toward Eco-Friendly Packaging

If you’re coming from non-sustainable practices, it may be tempting to revamp your entire process to be more eco-friendly. But this approach can do more harm than good.

For starters, introducing new materials and ways of doing things requires research, testing, and even trial and error. If you try to change everything all at once, you’ll overwhelm yourself and your team and fail to implement your initiatives properly.

To make your sustainable efforts… well, sustainable, take things slow. Rather than replacing all your supplies with greener alternatives, start with one or two things. For example, if your boxes or mailers come in different sizes, kick things off by replacing one size first to see how it goes. Depending on the results of your efforts, you can move on to other sizes.
