Businesses know that in 2020 and beyond, sustainability sells.\n\n<!--more-->\n\nFor starters: 43% of consumers in the UK are more likely to shop with a rival retailer if they are offered a greater range of sustainable delivery options.\n\nMoreover: 21% of consumers surveyed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unilever.com\/news\/Press-releases\/2017\/report-shows-a-third-of-consumers-prefer-sustainable-brands.html\">Unilever<\/a> said they would actively choose brands if they made their sustainability credentials clearer on their packaging and in their marketing\n\nIf before it was the impending regulatory control on packaging, plastics and emissions from governing bodies forcing their hands, now it seems most brands and retailers are actively harnessing the growing appetite for sustainable options from consumers, particularly when buying online.\n\nMany notable companies have made small changes behind the scenes, whilst others are favouring more radical, comprehensive overhauls of their operation or offering. Could it be that radical policies, such as completely removing the option to return products, are the only impactful option for businesses seeking to reduce the weight behind their environmental footprint?\n\nWe've collated our top options for eco-friendly ecommerce and sustainable best practice. They're not completely radical, but they do make a difference, and will help you towards the heightened environmental stewardship we should all be taking on:\n<h5><strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.3px; background-color: transparent;\">Better Packaging<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.3px; background-color: transparent;\">Plastic is cancelled, and any materials that either can't be recycled or re-used should be too. When it comes to the packaging you're using for each order, there are some brilliant options for more sustainable materials. Our personal favourite come from The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterpackaging.com\/\" rel=\" noopener\">Better Packaging Company<\/a>, who offer a wide range of bags, labels and tapes, all made from 'waste' material.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.3px; background-color: transparent;\"><img style=\"width: 1430px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peoplevox.com\/hubfs\/Screenshot%202020-03-11%20at%2013.21.07.png\" alt=\"Screenshot 2020-03-11 at 13.21.07\" width=\"1430\" \/><\/span>\n\n<span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.3px; background-color: transparent;\">Their honest approach and consistent drive towards improvement and bettering their efforts is remarkable.<\/span>\n<h5><strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.3px; background-color: transparent;\">Encourage Re-Use<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\nWith some intuitive design and a smart product tie-in, you can add to the overall experience your customers receive by making the packaging itself a part of the product. HangerPak have developed this very simple, but effective way of ensuring their packaging doesn't get trashed immediately after opening:\n\n<img style=\"width: 724px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peoplevox.com\/hubfs\/Screenshot%202020-03-11%20at%2013.26.05.png\" alt=\"Screenshot 2020-03-11 at 13.26.05\" width=\"724\" \/>\n\n<span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.3px; background-color: transparent;\">Similarly, check out Puma's Re-Suede shoe line. Made entirely from recycled materials and delivered in a rather smart looking shoe bag. This smart bag saves \u2018\u20198,500 tons of paper, 20 million megajoules of electricity, 1 million litres of water, 1 million litres of fuel oil, 500,000 of diesel oil and 275 tones of plastic\u2019\u2019.

This not only saves the need for postal packaging, but also saves on the pollution caused from the transportation of goods from A to B.<\/li>\n \t<li>Customer discounts\/rewards: Offering rewards to customers who purchase more than one item per order will encourage customers to buy all at once, rather than separate items in separate orders. This saves the customer money, promotes more conscious shopping and reduces the pollution caused by shipping each individual item.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<img style=\"width: 912px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peoplevox.com\/hubfs\/Screen%20Shot%202020-03-11%20at%202.54.43%20pm.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2020-03-11 at 2.54.43 pm\" width=\"912\" \/>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">We've also seen <a href=\"https:\/\/zerowastecartel.com\/\" rel=\" noopener\">Zero Waste Cartel<\/a>'s awesome bamboo toothbrush initiative.
