Evelyns Sustainability

Source Recycled Materials
Recycled Cardboard Boxes: We partner with suppliers who produce boxes from 100% post-consumer recycled materials.
Recycled Cushioning Materials: Use shredded paper, recycled bubble wrap, or biodegradable air cushions instead of foam or plastic peanuts.
Recycled Tape: Opt for paper-based or recycled-content packing tape with eco-friendly adhesives.

Design for Minimal Waste
Right-Sizing Boxes: Use algorithms or tools to select boxes that fit the products snugly, reducing the need for excessive filler materials.
Flat-Pack Designs: Implement collapsible or modular boxes that can be reused easily.
Single-Material Packaging: Simplify recycling by designing packaging with one material (e.g., all paper-based).

Encourage Recycling and Reuse
Include clear instructions on packaging for consumers to recycle or compost materials.
Offer incentives, such as discounts, for customers who return packaging for reuse.
Use QR codes or labels on boxes to educate customers about the recycling process.

Partner with Eco-Friendly Suppliers
Collaborate with suppliers committed to sustainability and certified for using recycled and sustainable materials (e.g., FSC-certified cardboard).

Branding and Messaging
Use printed or stamped messages on boxes, such as “Made from 100% Recycled Materials” or “Eco-Friendly Packaging.”
Share sustainability metrics with customers, like the number of trees or emissions saved by using recycled materials.

Continuous Improvement
Audit the supply chain to ensure all materials have the lowest environmental footprint.
Regularly test new materials, such as innovative recycled composites, to enhance durability and recyclability.

Consumer Engagement
Include interactive or reusable features in the packaging, such as a box that turns into a toy or storage unit.
Create campaigns around your recycled packaging initiative to build brand loyalty and spread awareness.
