How to Reuse, Recycle, and Return our mailers in the most eco-friendly way
So, you bought eco-friendly clothing in order to invest in our planet, only to end up having to pollute our water with microplastics from the mailer it came in? With the ubiquity of greenwashing- and the lack of clear standards for what a business has to do to earn the label "sustainable", we're sure this is a common disappointment for a conscious consumer like you.
At Paneros, we try to be as thorough as possible with regards to reducing our impact every step of the way- from the garment's production to the day, decades later, when it's that garment's time to be recycled. All Paneros Clothing pieces will be shipped to you in 100% recycled poly-mailers. After all, the best things come in sustainable packages.
Here's what to do with your mailer to ensure that its eco-friendly cyclical journey doesn't end in your hands.
Reuse it!
Although it would be a mistake to use some things more than once before recycling, this mailer is built for endurance. With its two adhesive strips, you can reseal and resend your mailer seamlessly without digging into your packaging tape supply.
To recycle your mailer, you can bring it to the thin film drop off at your local participating grocery store with the rest of your bags. If you don't know where that is, you can go to Recycle911 to find a drop off near you.
Return it!
If the other options don't work for you, you can send it back to the manufacturer, EcoEnclose, to recycle it for you. Just fill your mailer with as much clean #2 (Ex: detergent, shampoo bottles) or #4 (Ex: shrink wrap, plastic bags) plastic film as you can fit.
