The e-commerce mailing bags made of Xpression E-com paper from BillerudKorsnäs have 50 per cent fewer emissions from fossil fuels than brand-new plastic mailing bags. An environmentally friendly mailing bag for all retailers who value this.
Even before the Covid-19 crisis, the global e-commerce market was growing unstoppably. However, the pandemic has given a new boost to the shift from brick-and-mortar retail to online shopping. Naturally, this increased demand is also driving up the demand for shipping packaging. This in turn places an additional burden on the planet due to the packaging waste generated. Now Black Friday is just around the corner. A one-day event that gives online retail another big hit just before Christmas. Envelopes made from Xpression E-com paper are an environmentally friendly alternative.
“BillerudKorsnäs“ mission to challenge conventional packaging for a sustainable future demonstrates our understanding of responsibility for society. Xpression E-com is a classic example of how we think outside the box in the fight against climate change and the reduction of plastic waste." Malin Ljung Eiborn, Director of Sustainability at BillerudKorsnäs.
