Package Pals is a circular packaging initiative that collects used packaging from the public, distributing it back to businesses seeking eco-friendly packaging options.
They collect and distribute:
For Greener Office, they can provide secondhand, eco-friendly packaging (poly mailers, paper envelopes, clear plastic wrappers, padded envelopes, bubble wrap) to businesses.
They can also help to establish a takeback program with the business's own packaging.
Businesses may donate packaging (poly mailers, paper envelopes, clear plastic wrappers, padded envelopes, bubble wrap) to be reused by other businesses. Please contact Package Pals prior to donating these items.
