In an era where sustainability is paramount, businesses worldwide are innovating to align with eco-conscious practices.
Here at Hampers & Co, we are known for our exquisite gift hampers. But did you know that we use recycled boxes, local artisan products to lower our carbon footprint, and even our gift bags are made from recycled cotton! We also contribute foods to ‘Food Cloud’.
However, our commitment to sustainability shines through in our strategic choice of ‘Eco Loose Fill’ as packing filling for our hampers, significantly contributing to our green agenda.
Sustainable Packaging
With increasing awareness of environmental issues, consumers are demanding eco-friendly alternatives in all aspects of their lives, including gifting. Traditional packaging materials like bubble wrap, styro-foam, and plastic fillers have long been scrutinized for their adverse environmental impacts. Hampers & Co recognised the need to transition to sustainable alternatives without compromising on the quality or aesthetics of our hampers and gift ranges.
The Solution
Eco-fil, a biodegradable and compostable packaging material made from natural starch, emerged as the perfect fit for Hampers & Co's sustainability goals. Derived from renewable sources, such as corn and potatoes, Eco-fil offers a green alternative to traditional packaging fillers. Its lightweight, cushioning properties ensure that delicate items within our hampers are adequately protected during transit.
Why?
- Biodegradability: Unlike conventional packaging materials that linger in landfills for centuries, Eco-fil breaks down naturally, leaving behind no harmful residues. This ensures minimal environmental impact.
- Compostability: Eco-fil is not only biodegradable but also compostable, meaning it can be returned to the earth to nourish soil and support new plant growth. We encourage our clients to embrace this by composting their gift packaging after use.
- Customer Satisfaction: Hampers & Co's commitment to sustainability resonates with modern clients who prioritize eco-friendly brands. By choosing Eco-fil, Hampers & Co enhances customer satisfaction, appealing environmentally conscious shoppers.
By adopting Eco-fil as our preferred packaging filler, you can be happy in the knowledge that when ordering your hampers from Hampers & Co, you are making a tangible contribution to reducing waste, as we can strive towards ecologically viable, corporate gifting!
