There is no need to wait for Earth Day to make sustainability a priority for your small business. Small changes can be made little by little every day!
Here are a few easy ways to reduce waste, reuse older items, and incorporate more recyclables into your daily operations.
Switch to Earth Friendly Labels
Make your e-store easier on the environment by switching to Earth-Friedly White Rectangle labels for all of your shipments. Earth-Friendly label paper is made of 100% recycled material (100% Post Consumer Waste), and label sheet information is printed using LED-based ink. Earth-Friendly labels and packaging are also recyclable as part of paper waste.
Make Containers Easier to Reuse
If your products are sold in reusable containers such as canning jars, glass candle jars, metal or hard plastic boxes you can make it easier for customers to reuse those items once the original contents have been depleted. Simply switch to a removable product label! They mean no more hassles or headaches for people who would like to take the label off. They simply peel away, leaving no unsightly residue behind!
Replace Plastic Product Bags with Reusable Fabric Sacks
When packing smaller items included in orders, rather than shipping them in plastic bags, try sending reusable cotton bags or even thin organza bags. Add a small tag with string attachment to detail the contents of each bag or to list any instructions and customers are left with trinket bag that they can use again and again.
Consider Kraft Card Products
Consider switching to Kraft card products for postcards, business cards, tags and other items. Kraft card materials are FSC certified and recyclable. Switching to Kraft can also pack in effective visual punch, especially when your business is trying to convey a more rugged, natural, or rustic persona.
