Ecommerce – when plastic’s not your bag!

With half of all retail sales likely to be online by 2028, ecommerce continues to grow as enough brands have been able to keep up with or keep ahead of customer expectation. At the heart of the online purchasing revolution is the increased use of packaging.

With big brands under ever increasing scrutiny, looking to use greener alternatives is no longer a nice to have, it has become an imperative in the face of consumer pressure. In the age of social media – brands are under the spotlight like never before.

Brand loyalty and sustainability

Retailers have a huge role to play in educating customers by understanding the impact of their shopping habits on the environment.

61% of consumers in a recent survey stated that they would be likely to switch brand loyalty to one that is more environmentally friendly than the current brand they buy from.

By taking a few simple steps, your retail business can embrace more sustainable processes that you’ll be proud to let your customers know about.

Improve your green credentials, keep your customers loyal and attract new ones!
