WHY YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT HOW YOUR PRODUCTS ARE SHIPPED
Many companies use the term “Sustainable” as a marketing tactic to drive up the cost of their product when in reality, their product isn’t a sustainable option at all.
To help keep it simple, use these two questions to determine if you are making a sustainable choice
➤What will be left of this product once I am done with it?
➤Can I reuse this product, and will I reuse it?
This concept goes beyond the individual product itself and includes the packaging and shipping materials if the item was shipped.
If the item is wrapped in plastic or materials that you know won’t be able to break back down into Mother Earth or be recycled entirely or reused, then the product isn’t very sustainable.
When it comes to shipping, you can tell right away whether a product was shipped sustainably or not. If you get a cardboard box filled with brown paper packing materials, you know this company uses compostable and earth-friendly packing supplies. On the flip side, if you get plastic envelopes, plastic packing peanuts, bubble wrap, freezer bags, styrofoam, and plastic tape, well, they aren’t shipping with sustainable packaging materials. Those plastics end up in the landfills adding to our already overflowing unmanageable waste crisis.
