Check Your Packaging
There are so many great sustainable package options that you can order today that you no longer have to compromise style and durability in order to have sustainable packaging. For example, Hempak.com has a wide section of packaging that looks not only beautiful, and works well, but also is sustainable. The way in which you present your products to people is important because it becomes an extension of your brand. For that reason, it’s important to choose packing that lines up with your company’s ethics as well as your overall style and aesthetics.
Use Reliable Sources
There are certain products you want to avoid using, whether they have health implications for people such as known or suspected carebags, or because of the impact on the environment, such as palm tree oil. It’s important to carefully research all of your ingredients or sources for your products to ensure that there’s nothing happening along the way that you would be not proud to support. Wherever you spend your money, you’re supporting, so be really careful what you’re putting your money towards.
Minimize Packaging
It can be tempting to create beautiful elaborate packaging to make your customers feel special, but try to be mindful of the environmental impact of the packaging. Instead of sending plastic bags, maybe it’s worth including a cotton carebag for your items. Or perhaps instead of wrapping things in plastic, there’s a more sustainable product you can use. So much will depend on your type of business and what your products are, but always try to choose as little packaging as possible and select items that are more sustainable.
I hope these tips for having a more sustainable business inspire you to create a business you can be truly proud of.
