With e-commerce sales reaching record figures, both national and local businesses have had to rethink existing marketing strategies in favour of boosting online sales which also leads to seeking more sustainable packaging solutions to send products through the post to reduce their carbon footprint.

 

Speaking as sustainable packaging suppliers, we can honestly tell you that during the pandemic, over the last 12 months 90% of all enquiries have come directly from businesses that are asking for eco friendly packaging versions of their current packaging. To add to this, statistics also show on average 80% of consumers are looking to reduce plastic waste.

 

Although some businesses have been hit harder by the economy climate by withdrawing from the high-street and become an ‘online-only business, new local businesses have also flourished by their products in demand.
