How to Create a Plastic-Free Delivery System with Paper Mailers
Go completely plastic-free in your deliveries with paper alternatives for everything.
What plastic to replace
Quick answer
Replace poly mailers with paper bags, plastic tape with paper tape, and plastic void fill with tissue or kraft. Every element of your delivery can be paper-based. Paper mailing bags provide adequate protection for clothing, accessories, and non-fragile items. Paper tape seals as well as plastic. Tissue paper replaces plastic wrapping. The entire delivery becomes kerbside recyclable as one unit.
