  1. Guide to Smart, Environmentally Friendly Packaging Ideas Packaging Constitutes As Much As One-Third Of The Non-Industrial Waste Stream By Tony Ellison, Founder/CEO of Shoplet.com

  2. Did you know that packaging constitutes as much as one-third of the non-industrial waste stream, which is why 28 countries have laws designed to minimize that waste? Unfortunately, the U.S. is not among them, according to www.idealbite.com.To ship your holidays gifts the smart way, consider these tips that will help reduce what ends up in our landfills:

  3. Action StepsThe best contacts and resources to help you get it done

  4. Shred Your Paper Paper shreds can be used for other things instead of just throwing them away. I recommend: Using a paper shredder, use them to fill packages you send in the mail. It doesn’t cost anything, it can be recycled and it’s an environmentally safer product than Styrofoam.

  5. Reuse & Recycle Reuse & Recycle items if you can. Many items can be reused or recycled before you throw them away. I recommend: Saving cash by reusing. Boxes can cost a few bucks each. Avoid buying new ones by reusing the ones sent to you.  If you don’t have old boxes to reuse, insist on mailing boxes that use 10% to 30% recycled paper.  Recycled plastic bubble wrap can be used to cushion the contents of your package.  Reuse plastic shopping bags or shredded newspaper and pack it around breakables.  Try gummed paper tape made from recycled Kraft paper. 

  6. Cornstarch Packing Peanuts They are made from corn starch and dissolve in water leaving no toxic waste. Organic fill is static free, economical, fast and easy to use. Place them outside and they will either disappear when the birds take them to make their nests or they will melt in the next rainstorm. I recommend: Use cornstarch packing peanuts.

  7. Holiday Packing Dry pine cones and air-popped popcorn. They're virtually free, festive and can be fed to the birds or put in the back yard after use. I recommend: Use dry pine cones and air-popped popcorn for your holiday packing materials.
