As the eCommerce category gears up for #BlackFriday and the holiday season—which together account for 30-40% of annual sales in Europe (Global Data)—it’s essential to make strategic packaging decisions now. 📦 When your customers unwrap their delivery, what impression will your packaging leave? This first hands-on contact is not just with a product; it’s an opportunity for a positive brand experience. Recent insights by Fox Intelligence reveal that 84% of online shoppers prioritize easily recyclable packaging. Furthermore, 4 in 5 shoppers express a clear preference for paper or cardboard packaging over plastic. These trends are not mere statistics; they reflect a fundamental shift in consumer values. Sustainability is no longer a choice; it's a necessity. If you're still on the fence about making a change, consider this: switching from a 100% recycled content PE mailer bag to an unbleached paper mailer can reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 23%. If you're using virgin 40 microns PE mailer bags, that reduction skyrockets to nearly 49%. (DS Smith) This Black Friday let’s tackle the challenges together with innovative packaging solutions that meet consumer demands and align with your sustainability goals.

As we approach Black Friday, it’s crucial to reflect on the darker side of this shopping frenzy—textile waste and pollution.😱 The fashion industry is a major contributor to environmental damage, with estimates showing it accounts for up to 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Every year, millions of tons of textile waste end up in landfills, and the demand for "fast fashion" only intensifies the problem. As consumers, we can make a difference by choosing to buy less, supporting sustainable brands, and embracing the principles of reuse and upcycling. Let’s prioritise the planet and make conscious choices for you and your environment🌍 #SustainableFashion #TextileWaste #BlackFriday #CircularEconomy

Is traditional Black Friday activity still relevant to increasingly environmentally conscious shoppers? How can this change in focus lead us towards more sustainable shopping habits? In this blog, I explore the environmental impact of this once-celebrated retail event, and explain how Capgemini Invent's retail experts can help you foster excitement whilst prioritising eco-conscious choices https://lnkd.in/eTP35-cJ #BlackFriday #UkRetail #GetTheFutureYouWant

What’s your first reaction to this video? 👇 Ours? We’re shocked of the amount of single-use packaging used within seconds and discarded just as fast.😨 And with Black Friday just around the corner, it’s about to get worse—an avalanche of purchases, shipments, and, unfortunately, disposable #packaging. In Italy alone, 400,000 tons of CO₂ eq get released to the atmosphere during Black Friday week. While stopping such a significant shopping event may be unrealistic, we can work to reduce its impact!💪 If you are an e-commerce brand, this is what you can do: 🚚 Provide standard delivery instead of express shipment: slower delivery can save up to 15% carbon emissions (and tell your customers why you are doing so!) 🖥 Integrate size recommendation tools: better fit leads to fewer returns, meaning less impact. 🌍 Switch to reusable packaging with Movopack : -99% waste, -84% CO₂ emissions, means less impact!

🚨 Is Your Fashion Business Ready for Black Friday? 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eWrH2eWD 🗓️ Black Friday is just around the corner, but beyond the sales frenzy lies a critical issue... textile waste. 📦 Overproduction and clearance sales have created a waste crisis in the fashion industry that leads to 70% of fashion textiles in the UK ending up in landfills. There’s a more secure and sustainable way to clear out surplus stock: textile destruction. 🌍 In our latest blog, we explain how Avena’s sustainable destruction service helps retailers remanufacture and repurpose unsold stock, turning items into further life products. It’s an eco-friendly alternative to landfill or incineration, aligning with your sustainability goals and supporting a circular economy. 🤔 If you’re planning your Black Friday strategy, make sure you have a secure end of life solution in place for your garments. #Sustainability #TextileRecycling #CircularEconomy #FashionWaste #EcoFriendly #BlackFriday2024 #SustainableClearance
