Of course, the fruit (as the name suggests) is in a box &#8211; more precisely: in a <strong>returnable box<\/strong>. This will be picked up during the next delivery and refilled. The keyword here: Sustainable shipping. What is completely normal for the fruit box is still uncharted territory for online retail. Why is that? After all, there are now plenty of alternatives to the old single-use cardboard box and plastic filling material. <\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-394899-identifier\">To make you signposts in the industry (and thereby provide you with a <strong>U<\/strong>nique <strong>S<\/strong>elling <strong>P<\/strong>oint), we have examined five ways for you to make your fulfillment more sustainable.<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-199701-identifier wp-block-heading\">Method 1: The returnable box\/packaging<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-644424-identifier\">As early as 2009, Memo developed its own returnable shipping system, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.memo.de\/memo-box&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966969000&#038;usg=AFQjCNEFTXUMEdZxJ0YuM3XWgVH45qI7Kg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">memo Box<\/a>. Since then, customers have been able to choose this sustainable shipping option during the ordering process. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.umweltdialog.de\/de\/wirtschaft\/logistik\/2019\/Ist-E-Commerce-ohne-Berge-aus-Verpackungsmuell-moeglich.php&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966947000&#038;usg=AFQjCNGkwgEEsUO--r74USzQr-0L_wODRA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">company information<\/a>, 23% of customers used the memo Box. In 2017, the company was even awarded the Sustainability Prize Logistics by the Federal Association of Logistics (BVL) in Austria and Germany.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-207987-identifier\">The system is quite simple: The customer chooses the memo Box, and Memo itself decides which size is selected. After receiving the goods, the customer has 14 days to return the box to the company free of charge. If no return is made, Memo will charge the customer for the box, and they can then call it their own. The sturdy alternative to the cardboard box can withstand a total of <strong>500 cycles<\/strong>.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-605450-identifier\">Now you don&#8217;t have to reinvent the wheel to enable sustainable shipping. For smaller, non-fragile goods, such as clothing, the Finnish start-up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.originalrepack.com\/service\/?lang%3Dde&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966948000&#038;usg=AFQjCNEBrG0tWw1_Olgx2eIQooM5q1jR7A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RePack<\/a> has developed a foldable shipping bag. This way, the smart packaging can first transport goods and later be folded down to the size of an envelope and sent back to RePack worldwide free of charge. Through its innovative system, <strong>CO2 emissions are reduced by around 80%<\/strong>, according to the company&#8217;s promise.<\/p><figure class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"youtube-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSB0aXRsZT0iUmVQYWNrIC0gUmV1c2FibGUgUGFja2FnaW5nIiB3aWR0aD0iNTAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjI4MSIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS9lbWJlZC9hckFfZkdMaDc0Zz9mZWF0dXJlPW9lbWJlZCIgZnJhbWVib3JkZXI9IjAiIGFsbG93PSJhY2NlbGVyb21ldGVyOyBhdXRvcGxheTsgY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlOyBlbmNyeXB0ZWQtbWVkaWE7IGd5cm9zY29wZTsgcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlOyB3ZWItc2hhcmUiIHJlZmVycmVycG9saWN5PSJzdHJpY3Qtb3JpZ2luLXdoZW4tY3Jvc3Mtb3JpZ2luIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4+PC9pZnJhbWU+\"><div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c brlbs-cmpnt-cb-youtube\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/sellerlogic-dev.sl.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/brlbs-cb-youtube-main.png')\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-play-button\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\"> <p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently viewing a placeholder content from <strong>Youtube<\/strong>.

Since each return is rewarded with a shopping voucher that can be redeemed at any RePack partner, customer loyalty automatically grows. Of course, each bag is cleaned after use. This is done in workshops for people with disabilities. Thus, behind RePack lies <strong>not only an ecological but also a social idea<\/strong>.<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-69849-identifier wp-block-heading\">Method 2: Climate-neutral shipping<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-716742-identifier\">Admittedly, the farmer certainly has a shorter distance to my home than you as an Amazon seller do to most of your customers. However, that doesn&#8217;t mean you have to lag far behind him in terms of sustainable shipping.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-457469-identifier\">Large shipping providers like DHL and DPD offer climate-neutral shipping. For this, CO2 emissions are measured and offset through investments in climate projects.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-144067-identifier\">At DHL, <strong>all packages within Germany are shipped climate-neutrally<\/strong>. Packages to EU countries can also be shipped climate-neutrally for an additional charge of \u20ac0.20. Additionally, the shipping service provider already uses electric vehicles in some cities to reduce CO2 emissions. DPD also relies on free climate-neutral shipping in Germany and already uses cargo bikes in Nuremberg, for example.<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-134870-identifier wp-block-heading\">Method 3: Packaging made from recycled materials<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-429496-identifier\">But what about the product packaging itself? Those who cannot completely eliminate it can at least opt for sustainable alternatives to make their fulfillment more sustainable.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-971590-identifier\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.bio-lutions.com\/products\/&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966945000&#038;usg=AFQjCNGdFwsfFeMvZGhhYSRG39d52zHiKQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">bio-lutions\u2019<\/a> approach to this is quite simple yet brilliant. <strong>One person&#8217;s waste is another person&#8217;s raw material<\/strong>. The company uses organic waste to create new compostable packaging without chemicals.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-729090-identifier\">A similar approach is being pursued by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/arekapak.de&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966946000&#038;usg=AFQjCNEg_XrWr-KKsrTsDkvDZCsQFJqRrQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Arekapak<\/a>. They aim to create new packaging from fallen palm leaves. Although the packaging is not yet being sold, it is definitely exciting to follow this idea further. The team is currently working on the prototypes and the realization of the project.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-902328-identifier\">Even those who prefer film packaging can find suitable options. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.repaq.de&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966948000&#038;usg=AFQjCNHGEzFbxKABG1v7n27-jEdH5hoq8g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">repaq<\/a> offers plastic-free and compostable film packaging made from cellulose. However, there are many more innovations, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.fuer-gruender.de\/blog\/geschaeftsideen-verpackungen\/&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966946000&#038;usg=AFQjCNEm4bl0AVikeWbM76kY2wGnVR_Agg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">packaging<\/a> for temperature-sensitive goods to alternative insulation materials.<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-952291-identifier wp-block-heading\">Method 4: Filling material made from recycled materials<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-290527-identifier\">Which brings us to the next point: the filling material.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-918639-identifier\">Does it always have to be Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap? Or <strong>how about using mushrooms instead<\/strong>? Ecovativedesign has launched a new type of filling material that uses mycelium as a &#8220;glue.&#8221; Agricultural waste is cleaned and processed for this method. The mushrooms are then added as a stabilizer. After just a few days, the filling material is ready for use. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/mushroompackaging.com&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966974000&#038;usg=AFQjCNH4auDNnbeFiAz23w2GvuDeLca_fg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Mushroompackaging<\/a> has even convinced the electronics giant Dell.<\/p><div class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23142811\/nachhaltiges-fulfillment-amazon-seller-verpackungsmaterial.jpg\" alt=\"Sustainable fulfillment is becoming increasingly important for Amazon sellers: packaging material can be a building block.\" class=\"wp-image-2820\" width=\"449\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23142811\/nachhaltiges-fulfillment-amazon-seller-verpackungsmaterial-407x316.jpg 407w, https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23142811\/nachhaltiges-fulfillment-amazon-seller-verpackungsmaterial.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-98178-identifier\">Those convinced by this approach can even order their own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/grow.bio&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966970000&#038;usg=AFQjCNFZE0FQEDVaXqwo2cHxChaUJOEigA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">DIY kit<\/a> and produce their materials themselves. The only catch: the long transport route from the USA. But Germany also has good alternatives to offer. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/landpack.de&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966969000&#038;usg=AFQjCNGsIJ3PaZADxytrSy2OG5Bsk6WmLg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Landpack<\/a> near Munich offers several different filling materials. For example, they have insulation made from <strong>straw as an alternative to Styrofoam<\/strong>. According to the manufacturer, it can keep goods below 4\u00b0 for up to 65 hours.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-630685-identifier\">The company also offers materials made from hemp and jute. They serve both for insulation and shock absorption. Another alternative, who doesn&#8217;t know it? The good old <strong>packaging chips<\/strong>, but please biodegradable. They are usually made from starch and are at least as good as packaging chips made from Styrofoam. However, they can be disposed of in the organic waste bin or your own compost pile like all the other options presented.<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-135992-identifier wp-block-heading\">Method 5: Recycling packaging yourself<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-838366-identifier\">But who says you have to outsource processes or hire suppliers to ensure sustainable shipping? Surely you also receive one or another return. What do you do with the cardboard then? Throw it away?<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-24813-identifier\">Offer your customers the option to receive a reused cardboard box. Many cardboard boxes are still perfectly fine after their first use and are thrown in the trash anyway. An undamaged box can definitely be reused. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.ifhkoeln.de\/blog\/details\/nachhaltigkeit-im-online-handel-was-sagt-der-kunde\/&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966968000&#038;usg=AFQjCNELo8Pcw5U6JDhCTZc--DzDMc0aIQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">87%<\/a> of consumers even support the reuse of already used boxes<\/strong>.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-52070-identifier\">If you give your customers the choice beforehand of whether they value a brand new box more than reducing unnecessary waste, surely some environmentally conscious customers will give the box another use. However, with this method, you should only reuse boxes that are truly in perfect condition.<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-634601-identifier wp-block-heading\">Additional benefits<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-387494-identifier\">Those who focus on sustainable shipping and package their products as waste-free or compostable as possible reach a <strong>growing target audience<\/strong> of environmentally conscious consumers. A study by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.horizont.net\/planung-analyse\/nachrichten\/Relevanz-fuer-die-Kaufentscheidungen-Nachhaltigkeit-Verbraucher-achten-zunehmend-auf-das-Image-von-Marken--164198&#038;sa=D&#038;ust=1579525966969000&#038;usg=AFQjCNESzPirBxXdmrFPLsoZe_bGqlg3zQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Facit Research 2017<\/a> found that the sustainability of a product or retailer plays a significant role in the purchasing decision for about two-thirds of respondents.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-486228-identifier\">If that is not reason enough, let it be said: You can <strong>even save money with returnable packaging<\/strong>! Certainly, the initial investments are higher, but since you can now reuse your packaging multiple times, you do not have to buy new packaging material for each individual delivery. Think of the memo Box, which can be used 500 times. This way, the acquisition of returnable transport boxes will quickly pay off.<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-751535-identifier wp-block-heading\">Keep your eyes open when choosing packaging<\/h2><div class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23142811\/nachhaltiges-fulfillment-amazon-haendler.jpeg\" alt=\"Sustainable fulfillment is becoming increasingly important for Amazon sellers.\" class=\"wp-image-2824\" width=\"376\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23142811\/nachhaltiges-fulfillment-amazon-haendler-407x269.jpeg 407w, https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23142811\/nachhaltiges-fulfillment-amazon-haendler.jpeg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-738367-identifier\">As beautiful as the green, perfect world may sound, you should <strong>question every product nonetheless<\/strong>. Of course, it&#8217;s nice when shipping service providers invest in climate projects, but wouldn&#8217;t it be even better to use emissions-free shipping whenever possible? Does a package really need to be transported 10 kilometers in a diesel van, or would a courier service with an e-bike suffice in this case?<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-519327-identifier\">If you decide on a new packaging or filling method, you will most likely need to contact a supplier. At this stage, you should also inquire about the production of the alternative packaging and ensure that it is <strong>truly ecological<\/strong>. What good is packaging made from recycled material if it has to be shipped halfway around the globe to reach you? A critical look behind the green facade is definitely worthwhile!<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-327889-identifier wp-block-heading\">PraxPack: Solution search at the federal level<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-663749-identifier\">The Federal Ministry of Education and Research has also recognized that a change is urgently needed. After all, over <strong>50,000 tons of plastic packaging and over 750,000 tons of paper, cardboard, and carton packaging<\/strong> are generated annually just in online retail.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-400150-identifier\">Therefore, projects like &#8220;praxPACK&#8221; are being supported, where the \u00d6kopol Institute is searching for new solutions to reduce the mountains of packaging waste generated. They focus on ideas that benefit both the environment and the retailers. Only in this way can a change take place. So we have reason to hope that many more alternatives to single-use packaging and filling materials will soon come to market.<\/p><h2 class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-662000-identifier wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: Sustainable fulfillment is becoming increasingly important<\/h2><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-352021-identifier\">Those who focus on sustainable shipping and ecological packaging have a clear USP and reach an ever-growing target audience. There are already some sustainable alternatives to single-use packaging and filling materials available today. However, the range is expected to grow even further. <strong>Sustainability is definitely a trend<\/strong> that you should follow and implement in your company as much as possible.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-816990-identifier\">Nevertheless, you should first consider the individual options and evaluate them on a case-by-case basis. Does it fit your business? Does it really make sense? Those who take the time to do this and make conscious decisions can compete well with the farmer and his fruit box.<\/p><p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-464430-identifier has-small-font-size\">Image credits in the order of the images: \u00a9 SeNata \u2013 stock.adobe.com \/ \u00a9 landpack.de \/ \u00a9 Davide Angelini \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ding Dong!
