Why take your morning coffee in disposable cups when you can be switching to an environmentally friendly solution? Well, Zippys is here for you! Our mission? To ensure that our packaging is not the culprit in Mother Nature’s ill-made list.
But, how did Zippys sort to sustainable packaging? Okay, here is your answer. Buckle up and dive in.
The Great Packaging Makeover
Packaging used to be disregarded as a concept that was merely added to the final product after rigorous efforts were put into creating the actual product. You would buy something, perhaps a gadget, rip through layers of clear and foam packaging and dispose of it to the nearest bin. But at Zippy’s, we took a different approach. What shields your new laptop bag or tumbler in its journey to you should equally be as beautiful as the product itself.
“How can we make our packaging as sustainable as the products themselves?” was our first question that led us to a completely new packaging system. This introduced the environment friendly products such as using recycled cardboard, biodegradable packing peanuts and soy ink.
Cardboard: The Unsung Hero
No, cardboard doesn’t sound very fancy but it’s one of the shining parts of our new sustainable packaging. Conventional packaging supplies have been substituted with sturdily recyclable cardboard material that is one hundred percent recycled. Every box has a purpose of protecting the Zippys product when it is in transit to the customer without piling up heaps of waste.
Our packaging is made from post-consumer waste, this means while producing the packaging material, we are taking used waste items that may be in circulation and recycling them.
Biodegradable Packing Peanuts
Do you remember the foam that used to be packed in shipments and was such a nuisance when it spread all over the house? They are now in the dustbin, the past. Rather, we get packing peanuts that are made from biodegradable cornstarch.
But wait, there’s more! Surprisingly the eco-friendly peanuts are perfect to feed your plants. Put the peanuts in the compost pile or use mature peanuts by dissolving them in a watery solution and fertilize your garden.
Closing The Loop: Recycling And More
At Zippys it is our policy to reduce, reuse and recycle all that can be reusable or recycled. It is always advised in our assertions that the customer should recycle the packaging material. All our boxes’ design includes a clear instruction to facilitate recyclability.
Our quest for being completely sustainable does not end here. We are actively looking for a way to achieve a lesser impact on the environment. We have one goal: to make our company environmentally friendly as much as possible.
A Future Of Sustainable Sipping And Carrying
Our route to a completely sustainable packaging is still long. That is why we are always searching for new ideas and improved solutions that can help decrease waste and preserve the environment. It is a principle we hold at the highest consideration in our endeavors; be it an invention of new packaging materials or the enhancement of the recycling processes for our packaging products.
Sustainability for us is more than just a motto. Because great products should have great packaging too, and our world should be no exception. Here’s to sustainable sipping, stylish carrying, and a green future to all!
