Sustainability in the Field
Word Around Here
PackageWorks helped us switch to 100% paper based mailer, instead of a plastic one. Each month we save the equivalent of 10k+ plastic water bottles of waste. They’ve also helped move all our older virgin corrugated to recycled content. PackageWorks is definitely helping us do our part for us and our furry ones.
