Eco-friendly packaging: the benefits for you and the environment

Everyone agrees

that an ecological approach is the future, but how can this be achieved in practice, and what are the benefits? Using the right ecological packaging is already a big step towards environmental friendliness. And without much effort or investment

1.The benefits of eco-friendly packaging

► Save on your packaging costs

To think that environmentally friendly alternatives are more expensive is an aberration in the world of packaging. In fact, thanks to RAJA’s environmentally friendly solutions, you can save considerably on your packaging costs. Take a variable height crate

, for

example. By adjusting the crate to the height of your product, you need less cushioning material. As a result, the packaging costs per order are considerably reduced.

► Strengthen your brand image

On the other hand,

sustainable packaging helps to strengthen your brand image. Consumers are increasingly opting for environmentally friendly companies. Customers are increasingly frustrated by over-packaged products. Why use so much packaging when there are more environmentally friendly solutions? Instead, opt for a variable height crate and environmentally friendly tape, because unlike PP or PVC tapes, this tape can be recycled directly with the crate, without your end customer having to separate it for sorting.

► Support a good cause

By choosing these products, you support several good causes. For every purchase of one of these products, RAJA donates 1 euro per package to the RAJA-Danièle Marcovici Foundation. This foundation supports 5 projects that focus on improving women’s living conditions while respecting the environment.

2. How do you pack sustainably?

A cardboard box is sustainable packaging in itself, of course, but did you know there are also much ‘greener’ alternatives to plastic bags, tape and bubble wrap? Below, check out our most popular eco-friendly products

► Pack sustainably from crate to tape

Emballer écologiquement commence déjà avec une caisse. Chez RAJA, toutes les caisses en carton contiennent au moins 70 % de matériaux recyclés. Les caisses de la gamme Variabox®sont encore plus respectueuses de l’environnement : elles sont équipées de rainures qui facilitent leur réglage en hauteur. Cette caisse s’adapte donc parfaitement à la taille de votre produit. Cela requiert moins de matériel de calage et donc moins de déchets.

Il faut d’abord choisir une caisse écologique qui correspond à vos besoins, et ensuite décider comment protéger son contenu. Plutôt que des films bulles ou films mousse, il est préférable d’utiliser du papier d’emballage recyclé. Avec ce papier, vous emballez toutes sortes de produits et vous les protégez, de plus, des chocs et des rayures. Pour fermer votre caisse, il est également possible d’opter pour une solution écologique, tel que le ruban adhésif en papier. L’avantage de ce ruban est qu’il est recyclé avec votre caisse e

► Stocker, label and present sustainably

Even in your warehouse, it’s easy to take simple, environmentally friendly steps. Take cardboard totes

, for

example. They’re handy for storing small individual products and for picking. Larger products can be easily labelled with one of our recyclable American labels. These same paper labels are also useful when you want to add a business card to a bag, for example. Our kraft paper bags

are

very sturdy and are an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic bags.

► Working ecologically and hygienically

We continue our green journey in the office. If you’re looking for an alternative to plastic or foam pouches, choose Rigipack® cardboard envelopesinstead. They’re made from at least 64% recycled paper and are fully recyclable. Your files or office equipment can also be stored in our kraft paper boxes

, and

their durable kraft outer cover makes them moisture resistant. Finally, our green journey ends with hygiene. Swap your cotton towels for paper ones, for example. They absorb water quickly and efficiently and are, of course, fully recyclable. From packing your products to a visit to the toilet, green is everywhere!
