Branch guide Sustainable Packaging for E-Commerce

Together with the Royal Association of Dutch Paper and Cardboard Manufacturers (VNP) and Partners for Innovation, the Dutch digital commerce platform Thuiswinkel.org has published an interactive guide to provide online shops with guidance about sustainable packaging for E-commerce.
The guide contains background information and a great number of examples of sustainable packaging, such as sustainable materials, machines, clever design solutions, and options for the reuse of packaging. The reduction of empty space is a priority, because this simultaneously reduces transportation costs, CO₂ emissions, material use, and consumer frustration (News Item Thuiswinkel.org, 13 April 2016).
