# Reducing Single Use Shipping Packaging

November 15, 2022

Sustainability is a buzzword in almost all industries today. Customers [prefer to spend their money](https://pditechnologies.com/resources/report/business-sustainability-index/)  with companies that prioritize reducing their environmental impact, and not many industries can have as much of an impact as logistics. Shipping and logistics suppliers use huge amounts of single-use packaging, often made of non-recyclable materials. Even with recyclable single-use packaging, it is still more likely to end up in a landfill than a recycling center. Logistics companies must figure out how to cut back on waste in their processes while also keeping costs low. So how can they do it? Multi-use packaging is a great solution to the shipping industry’s waste problems. **Major Logistics Suppliers Take Note…** And many major companies are already implementing multi-use packaging programs.  The major logistics companies - DHL, UPS, and FedEx - have all implemented or prioritized some form of reusable packaging program. DHL named reusable packaging and reverse logistics as their #2 priority in their [Rethinking Packaging Trend Report](https://www.dhl.com/content/dam/dhl/global/core/documents/pdf/glo-core-rethinking-packaging-trend-report.pdf) . [FedEx](https://www.fedex.com/en-us/shipping/packing/supplies/sustainable-packaging.html)  and [UPS](https://www.ups.com/re/en/services/sustainability/sustainable-services/sustainable-packaging/reusable-envelopes.page)  both offer packaging products that allow two shipments per package, although FedEx offers many more packaging options than UPS. **…But Small Businesses are Pioneering the Industry** But it’s not just the logistics big boys that are stepping into the reusable packaging game. There are already several players that are fighting for market share, including [Returnity](https://www.returnity.co/) , [Reusable Transport Packaging](https://reusabletranspack.com/) , [Limeloop](https://thelimeloop.com/how-it-works/) , and [Boox](https://boox.eco/) . All of these companies offer sturdy, reliable multi-use packaging with the goal of establishing a circular shipping economy. They may all have their own takes on how reusable shipping packaging should be but make no mistake…these companies are pioneers of logistics of the future. **Packaging Equipment Built for Tomorrow’s Logistics** Econocorp’s quality line of [cartoners](https://econocorp.wpenginepowered.com/cartoning/) , [tray formers](https://econocorp.wpenginepowered.com/tray-forming/) , and [case packers](https://econocorp.wpenginepowered.com/case-packing/)  are able to handle virtually any type of packaging you throw at them, including innovative reusable designs. Just give us a call at (781) 986-7500 or email [info@econocorp.com](mailto:info@econocorp.com)  to discuss your reusable packaging needs, and we’ll help design the perfect line of the production line equipment to meet your sustainability goals while keeping expenses down.
