What does sustainable shipping really cost?
Sustainable shipping? Yes of course, but affordable please.
This is exactly what we often hear in initial discussions with companies. And yes, sustainable shipping should not be a luxury. That's why we did the math:
What does SUPASO packaging cost compared to polystyrene?
What are the savings in storage and shipping?
And how does the difference affect the carbon footprint?
Many companies think of one thing first when switching to sustainable packaging solutions: higher costs. But what does the reality really look like?
We break the myth and show you why switching to our paper-based shipping solutions not only makes ecological sense, but also economic sense.
1. Purchasing costs: comparable to styrofoam
The most common misconception: sustainable packaging is always more expensive. The truth? The purchase price of our products - depending on the quantity and type of product - is comparable to conventional polystyrene boxes. Sustainability does not have to cost more.
2. Storage costs: paper saves space
Our products are delivered flat and require up to 80 % less storage space than polystyrene boxes. Less storage space = lower fixed costs.
3. shipping costs: less volume, less postage
In many cases, less packaging volume also means lower shipping costs. Lean, paper-based solutions save money, especially for small to medium-sized parcels.
4. Process costs: easier handling = less effort
Our packaging systems can be pre-packaged quickly and easily. This saves time in the packaging process and reduces internal costs through more efficient work.
5. Customer loyalty: Sustainability as a competitive advantage
More and more consumers are paying attention to sustainability. Plastic-free shipping creates trust and differentiation. This benefits the brand in the long term and increases customer loyalty.
Conclusion: Sustainability pays off
Our mission is to create packaging solutions that require no compromises, neither in terms of performance nor cost.
