EASY CURBSIDE RECYCLING WITH THE ECOJACKET PAPER MAILER  

The EcoJacket padded paper mailer saves you money on shipping and packaging costs, and it can easily be thrown into the recycling bin by your customers    

WHY EASY CURBSIDE RECYCLING MATTERS

Customers are looking for simple sustainable solutions, and it doesn’t get any simpler than tossing a paper mailer straight into the curbside recycling bin. This leads to a high recycling rate, a positive environmental impact, and a happy customer.

Alternative packaging options made from soft plastics are more difficult (and sometimes impossible) to recycle, which leads to customer confusion and more waste in the landfill.
 

BY THE NUMBERS

81% of paper packaging is recovered for recycling, compared to just 10% of soft plastic packaging, according to US EPA data. 

THE ECOJACKET MAKES SUSTAINABILITY THE SIMPLE CHOICE

The EcoJacket has several advantages that make it easy for customers to recycle.  

• Recycle it at home: The EcoJacket can be placed right in the curbside bin at the customer’s home. No need to take it to a store drop-off location, like certain plastic materials require.   
• Made of one material: The EcoJacket is made only of paper, so it can be tossed in the bin without having to tear off parts of it or remove void fill.  
• Easy communication: The mailer is printed with the How2Recycle label that instructs the customer to recycle it in their curbside bin. Most people are familiar with recycling paper anyway, so this should be second nature for them.  

WITH THE ECOJACKET YOU SAVE ON (ALMOST) EVERYTHING: SUPPLY COSTS, SHIPPING, AND LABOR.  

If you are currently using corrugated boxes to package small items, a mailer may be an alternative to cut down on excess packaging materials. If you are considering switching to mailers for shipping your smaller products, the EcoJacket can help you save.  

01 SAVE BIG ON SHIPPING COSTS COMPARED TO BOXES

Mailers make it easy to right-size your packaging, which helps reduce freight charges multiple ways:  

• Reduce DIM weight: Mailers are designed to conform closely to the shape of the items you ship, thus they typically minimize the package size. This reduces the DIM weight of your package by an average of 5-10%. 
• Reduce actual weight: Because mailers are much lighter than corrugated boxes, they also reduce the actual weight of the package.  

Most shippers use the greater of the DIM weight and actual weight to set a price for each package. By reducing both, freight charges are guaranteed to be less.

02 PREVENT OVER-PACKING COSTS BY USING LESS PACKAGING MATERIAL

Using an EcoJacket reduces the amount of packaging materials you need to purchase. The only thing you need to buy is the mailer itself.  

• No tape: The EcoJacket comes with self-seal closure, eliminating the need for tape.  
• No void fill: The EcoJacket comes with padding that cushions the items inside. This eliminates any need for void fill or additional protecting materials.  

03 REDUCE LABOR COSTS BY PACKAGING TWICE AS FAST

Packaging your goods with an EcoJacket is as simple as placing the item in the mailer, pealing the adhesive strip, and patting it closed. This contrasts with packing a box, where the packers must erect the box, load the items, place void fill, and tape it shut.   

• The impact: Workers can pack a mailer 2 to 2.5 times faster than they can pack the same item with a box.

The EcoJacket paper mailer makes sustainability simple for your customer and saves you money.
