How to Use Sustainable Packaging Materials For Shipping

Sustainable practices are now crucial for businesses, and the shipping industry is no exception. Packaging offers a significant opportunity for environmental sustainability.

Each day, massive amounts of packaging materials travel from warehouses to consumers. Often, they end up in landfills or recycling centres.
