Industrial Packaging Solutions Prevent Damaged Packages
According to a recent white paper by Pregis, 1 in 10 online shipments are damaged during the delivery process. This results in over 860 million packages being reshipped back to their sellers. Research has shown that this process of returning these packages can have a significant impact on the environment.
Continue reading to learn about the impact of this issue, and see how you can work with Greeno to rectify it.
How Damaged Packages Harm the Environment
Customers are not happy when their packages get damaged in the mail. If the product was damaged during the delivery process, the customer will have to ship the product back to the seller. The process of doing this has a strong, negative impact on the environment.
This is because the damaged packaging has to be discarded upon its return. This, in conjunction with environmental consequences associated with reshipping the package, creates problems. The increased use of landfill space, fossil fuel, warehouse space, and industrial packaging materials harms the environment.
Check the Statistics
Each damaged package has the following results:
- 1.7 gallons of fuel consumed
- 10 pounds of solid waste in landfills
- .8 kWh kilowatt hours of electricity
- 40.4 pounds of carbon dioxide gas emissions
An estimated 5 billion pounds of landfill space is used annually from returned eCommerce items. This is primarily due to the damages that occur during the shipping process.
