Reducing plastic waste by making better packaging choices

As environmental concerns take centre stage, people are increasingly seeking eco-friendly alternatives for their daily needs, including parcel deliveries. At Priority Express, we recognise the importance of sustainable packaging choices and are committed to reducing plastic waste. Here’s how opting for better packaging can help make greener deliveries:

Understanding Packaging Options

Packaging plays a crucial role in protecting goods during transit, but it’s essential to choose materials that minimise environmental impact. Traditional plastic packaging, while effective, often ends up in landfills where it can take hundreds of years to decompose. To address this, businesses are turning to sustainable alternatives.

Sustainable Alternatives

1. Recycled Materials: Packaging made from recycled paper or cardboard reduces the need for virgin materials and can often be recycled again. This not only conserves resources but also helps to lower carbon emissions.
2. Biodegradable Options: Materials like cornstarch-based packing peanuts or mushroom-based packaging decompose naturally and do not contribute to long-term waste.
3. Reusable Packaging: Encouraging the use of packaging that customers can return or reuse helps to cut down on single-use plastics. Companies can offer incentives for customers who return packaging, promoting a circular economy.
