By 2060, global consumption of pulp and paper is expected to double, so what does this mean for our planet?

Increasing consumption creates an increased demand for production, putting pressure on our forests that are already in a critical state. Unfortunately, deforestation is one of the key environmental issues that our planet is facing, with paper consumption accounting for 42% of all global wood harvest. Forests are the ecosystem for thousands of species that could face extinction whilst deforestation continues to increase at an alarming rate.

With a growth in consumption, comes a growth in waste.

During manufacturing, chlorine based bleaches are often applied to paper products, which when dumped in landfill, results in toxic by-products being released into our water, air and soil. By reducing paper usage, we can minimise our impact on forests, ensure our environment is not polluted, and produce less waste.

That’s why we’ve decided to go paperless with our delivery notes. Committed to reducing our impact on the environment, introducing paperless delivery notes will save over 50,000 sheets of paper annually. Instead, delivery notes will be added to order despatch emails instead.

That’s the equivalent of…

As you will know, forests help manage our carbon emissions, improve our air quality, protect us from natural disasters such as floods and landslides, and are great for creating a rich biodiverse community for nature to thrive. Without them, we will lose the battle against the climate crisis. It is imperative that we all do our part in reducing the need for deforestation, so that we can continue to live on a planet that we are proud to call ours.

With the ever increasing pressures of climate legislation and changes in consumer behaviour, the ecommerce and online retail industry is having to adapt, change and improve; reducing impact on the environment and striving for sustainability. Our Managing Director- Josh Pitman, joined Emma Herrod - Editor of RetailX and Sophie Moule - Head of Marketing at Pi Datametrics to talk about the steps that are being taken by retailers within the industry to become more sustainable.

Click here to watch the Webinar.

What the experts say:

Consumer behaviour and habits have changed significantly over the last few years and the focus on sustainability and eco-friendliness is more prevalent now than ever before. More than 4 out of 10 shoppers say they would pay more for a sustainably sourced product or service and a third have already done so; whilst 70% of shoppers say it’s important for them to buy from companies whose values align with their own^[1]. This shift in behaviour isn’t just noted in studies and surveys, Sophie Moule explains that search engine data shows that consumers are researching sustainable alternatives in their everyday lives, with searches for ‘vegan’ increasing by ~46% in 2020-2021 vs 2018-2019, and searches for ‘sustainable retail’ increasing by ~22% in the same time period^[2]. This search engine data shows real intent from consumers to change and opt for more planet friendly, sustainable options. Consumer demand is so strong that it cannot, and certainly should not, be ignored.

Due to consumer demand, commercial decisions are changing; what once was bottom line focused is now sustainability focused and the shift from brands and companies selling efficiency solutions to sustainability solutions is evident. The rising popularity of environmental documentaries and the Attenborough effect have certainly been influential in changing consumer habits and once that awareness has begun, it cannot be undone, so brands are forced to make better, more considered decisions that reduce their impact on the environment.

But it’s not just high-level sustainability efforts that consumers are interested in, there is a real demand for sustainability to be considered throughout every element of the production cycle, from product development and sourcing, in-bound logistics and supply chain, to sales, delivery and returns. Sustainability is not just a marketing tool, brands and companies who are embarking on their sustainability journey should be doing so from a truly authentic and genuine perspective. Consumers are aware of greenwashing and the unauthentic attempts at sustainability by brands and businesses, so authenticity really is key.

How packaging can impact brands' sustainability:

Josh Pitman talks about Priory Direct’s position within the packaging industry and states that; ‘as a packaging supplier, we actually try to get people to use less of it. That may seem counterintuitive but it is after all, a waste material, and waste and unsustainability increases a company's carbon footprint’^[3]. Shipping air, or over use of void fill due to ill fitting packaging is just one issue that is contributing to larger footprints within the ecommerce and online retail industry, and packaging as a whole holds one of the keys to improving sustainability.
Priory Direct is on a mission to make ecommerce a fully sustainable industry, and packaging is just one aspect of that, but it’s an important one. Packaging is the first time a brand meets the customer in the real world, so it’s a hugely important touch point, and poor packaging choices can damage not only brand perception but the environment too. The emerging trend amongst brands is to make sure packaging is communicating sustainability to the consumer; brands are making good, considered choices and explaining that with official markers on their packaging.. Not only does this increase awareness of sustainability and the planet friendliness of the packaging, it also adds character and perceived value, enhancing the brands journey and voice.

We at Priory Direct have created our own brand of planet friendly packaging - Priory Elements - that focuses on communicating our sustainability story, educating end users on the eco credentials of the packaging, and raising awareness of the environmental movement. We’ve also partnered with 1% for the Planet, so as a business we are able to help protect the environment with every purchase made with us. We have partnered with 1% FTP in two capacities; we donate 1% of all sales of our Priory Elements ranges, helping make meaningful change through customers purchasing these products. And secondly, we allow all our customers to donate their loyalty reward points to charity when they order with us. It is a simple, effective way for customers to support environmental charities when purchasing their packaging essentials, and it doesn’t cost them a penny. Larger customers have the potential to make huge donations through bulk purchases, and this type of partnership is something that can be emulated throughout the industry, making monumental change.

Ultimately, connecting to your customer base through your packaging and communicating your sustainability journey through customer interaction points, explaining why it’s important to your brand, is the key to raising awareness and truly using your business as a vehicle for good.

Brands that are setting excellent examples:

Finisterre

Finisterre are a great example of a brand using customer touch points to communicate their sustainability story, and really reinforce their planet positive sentiment in all that they do; truly encapsulating authenticity in their messaging. Their Positive Impact Report 2020 shows how they are dedicated to using their business for good and defines how they are using their B Corp certification and place with the market to affect real change.

Patagonia

Similarly to Finisterre, Patagonia really sells the lifestyle rather than just their products. Their communication and messaging to their customers is transparent, authentic and educational; putting a real focus on making change and protecting our planet for future generations. The ‘Activism’ section of their website is an innovative, revolutionary way of getting their customers invested in the lifestyle and not just the products.

With the textiles industry having a larger carbon footprint than all travel combined, it’s great to see brands such as Patagonia and Finisterre taking action to reduce their impact on the environment and reduce the industries footprint.

Mayborn Group

The Mayborn Group have set themselves the target to have a climate neutral supply chain by 2030, by the end of 2022 they will have removed all single use plastics from their packaging and have a fully sustainable operation across their entire organisation, as well as appointing an internal sustainability team dedicated solely to that. They are a shining example of a company setting ambitious targets whilst fiercely making change in every aspect of their organisation.

How the Plastic Packaging Tax will help:

Plastic itself has a low carbon footprint and is actually highly recyclable, however it becomes problematic when it is not disposed of correctly and it ends up in our environment.

78 million tonnes of plastic was used in the EU in 2018 and 98% of that came from virgin plastic feedstocks, which means only 2% of plastic was from recycled materials^[4]. The Plastic Packaging Tax is a way of incentivising manufactures and businesses to use post consumer waste. Under the new tax that comes into place in April 2022, any plastics that are made from less than 30% recycled materials will be charged at £220 per tonne^[5] - this could be a huge overhead for some larger organisations that are currently using plastic made from virgin feedstocks. This tax should bring around meaningful change in business behaviour and drive investment into the infrastructure for recycling; currently recycling rates of plastic are far from ideal and the Plastic Packaging Tax should give it the push it needs to make real change.

Of the 78 million tonnes of plastic used in the EU in 2018, 32% was leaked into the environment, polluting the planet and causing extreme damage, 40% ended up in landfill, 14% was incinerated, and just 14% was collected for recycling. Only 2% of the plastic that was collected for recycling was used to create the same or similar of the original product and 8% was used to create lower-value, or other products^[6].

With most plastics used only once, and such a high percentage of it ending up polluting our environment, something has to be done to bring around change. 8 million tonnes of plastic are leaked into the ocean every year, and if that continues, there will be more plastic in the sea than fish by 2050, so the Plastic Packaging Tax brings hope for the future of plastic recycling and disposal^[6].

The expert's key takeaways:

When it comes to sustainability and protecting the planet, everyone can agree that it has to come from a place of authenticity; and brands have to genuinely want to use their business for good. But before brands can do anything, they must ask hard questions of themselves and what they are currently doing in order to be better. Telling stories of sustainability and planet protection will change consumer behaviour, and doing so in an authentic way defines brand voice, making your brand synonymous with sustainability.

What steps do you take as a business to communicate your sustainability story? Have you seen consumer habits change from efficiency or price focused to environmental focused? Has consumer demand changed your business?

For the first time ever, the Amazon rainforest is emitting more carbon than it is able to absorb; but why is this important?

Our rainforests are one of the biggest carbon stores on the planet, and the Amazon has previously played an important role in helping stabilize the climate by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. However, due to deforestation and forest fires, the Amazon Rainforest, which once was a carbon store, helping to slow the climate crisis, is now accelerating it.

June fires in the Amazon rainforest are at their highest level since 2007, and last year deforestation rates have surged to a 12 year high; meaning that without intervention, the statistics are only going to get worse. Forest fires produce around 3 times more CO2 than the forest is able to absorb, and with most forest fires caused deliberately to clear land, the time for action to protect our rainforests and reduce carbon emissions is now^[1].

Chris Redston, Executive Director of Rainforest Trust UK, said: “Studies have shown that halting tropical deforestation and allowing for regrowth could mitigate up to 50% of net global carbon emissions in the next 30 years ^[2] – yet rainforests are still being cut down at a rate of 70,000 acres a day. And as well as storing billions of tonnes of carbon, the world’s rainforests produce 20% of the planet’s oxygen, stabilise global weather patterns, provide habitat for thousands of endangered species and sustain the livelihoods of millions of indigenous people. In short, we can’t really live without them.^[3]”

Lowering our carbon emissions and protecting our rainforests should be at the top of everyone’s agenda; it truly is everyone’s responsibility to look after our planet. So whether you’re a business owner, or an individual looking to do your bit, there’s lots that you, and your business can do to help in the fight against climate change.

What can your business do to help?

Partner with Rainforest Trust UK

Partnering with Rainforest Trust UK gives you the opportunity to protect threatened rainforests and use your business, and customer base as a vehicle for good. Rainforest Trust UK is fighting climate change by protecting the world’s most important tropical forests, and by partnering with them, you can do your bit to protect the planet.

Chris Redston of Rainforest Trust UK goes on to say: “Safeguarding existing rainforests is one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways an individual can fight climate change, as every acre safely stores over 100 tonnes of carbon that could otherwise enter the atmosphere as the greenhouse gas CO2”^[4] It really cannot be overstated how important it is that our rainforests and tropical ecosystems are protected, and just a small donation can add up to make a big difference.

We are proud partners of Rainforest Trust UK and we offer all our customers the opportunity to protect 1000m2 of threatened rainforest with every purchase over £30. It’s one small act, but since partnering with them in February 2021, thanks to our customers, we have raised enough to protect over 1.6 million square metres of threatened rainforest. And it is so simple and easy for businesses to partner with Rainforest Trust UK and make a real difference.

Vicky Wallace, Fundraising Manager at Rainforest Trust UK, said: “We are all stakeholders in protecting our planet’s most threatened tropical forests, which is why we partner with UK businesses like Priory Direct to save rainforests and protect the climate. We are always happy to work with like-minded businesses of all sizes who want to do good for the planet, so anyone wanting to make a difference should get in touch – even if you’re not sure where to start!”^[5] You can find out more information about the work that Rainforest Trust UK do here, or if you’re ready to join the movement, then email Vicky at UK@RainforestTrust.org to get started.

Reduce inbound and outbound deliveries

Road transport accounts for around one fifth of global carbon emissions, and for some companies, transportation of goods can be one of the biggest contributors to their carbon footprint. Deliveries are, of course, an essential aspect of any ecommerce or online retail business, so ensuring inbound and outbound deliveries are optimised for ultimate sustainability is a great way to do your bit to help.

Ordering your business supplies in bulk reduces the number of deliveries you require, and therefore, reduces the number of delivery vans on the road. If you have your own delivery service, switching to an electric vehicle can reduce carbon emissions by around 73%, significantly reducing your businesses carbon footprint^[6]. Alternatively, using a climate neutral courier service such as DPD climate neutral is another great way of offsetting the carbon emissions associated with the delivery of your business essentials.

You could also encourage your customers to place larger, less frequent orders with you to ensure your outbound deliveries are as planet friendly as your inbound. Communicating this message to your customer base has the potential to make a big difference; altering consumers' purchasing habits for the better. We can’t all do everything, but we can all do something, and changing the way you order business supplies, and how often, can make a real impact.

Make sustainable packaging choices and use climate neutral packaging where possible

Choosing sustainable, planet friendly packaging options for your despatches is a simple, yet effective way of reducing your impact on the environment. Purchasing packaging that is manufactured carbon neutral, or is recyclable, biodegradable or plastic free is a great way of lowering the environmental impact of your business. And communicating the eco-credentials of packaging to customers is vital to ensure that packaging is disposed of correctly and responsibly.

Our own planet friendly packaging brand, Priory Elements, focuses on telling our sustainability story to our customers by printing the packaging with easy to understand eco markers. Priory Elements is a packaging range that is sustainably sourced and responsibly sold, and by telling our eco story, we are helping lots of businesses make planet friendly packaging choices.

Packaging isn’t just a means to an end, it really can be the difference between an operation being planet friendly or not; so considering your packaging choices is one of the easiest ways your business can become more planet friendly, reduce your carbon footprint, and do good for the environment.

What can you do as an individual to help?

Drive less; use public transport, cycle or walk to work

As we have previously mentioned, transport equates to one fifth of global carbon emissions, so reducing the amount you travel would ideally be the best plan of action. But we know that travel is essential in our everyday lives, so by making small changes and more planet-friendly choices, your individual travel habits can add up to make a big environmental difference.

Driving a medium sized diesel or petrol car emits between 171g and 192g per passenger km of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, whereas using the National Rail service, carbon emissions are around 41g per passenger km - so choosing to take the train to work rather than drive, could reduce your carbon emissions by approximately 78%. Opting to car share with colleagues or friends is another great option for reducing your carbon footprint and air pollution, and choosing to walk or cycle where possible, reduces emissions even further^[6].

When the time comes to choose your next vehicle, consider purchasing an electric powered vehicle. With the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans being banned in the UK from 2030, now would be the perfect time to consider a more planet friendly vehicle^[7].

Raise awareness of the climate crisis

One of the easiest ways to do your bit to help in the climate crisis and protect our planet, is to raise awareness of it. Too many people believe that as an individual they cannot affect change by themselves, but that simple isn’t true. As we’ve said before, even the smallest actions can make a difference, so raising awareness by getting involved in events like Rainforest Trust UK’s Hug 100 Trees campaign, or posting about your planet friendly habits on social media, you’re doing your bit to aid in the fight against climate change.

There are countless environmental awareness days throughout the year, from Earth Day and World Ocean Day, to Plastic Free July, so getting involved and shouting about it to your colleagues, friends and family is an easy, simple and fun way to help protect our planet.

Consider the sustainability of the businesses and brands you use

Lots of businesses and brands are taking steps to become more planet friendly and reduce their carbon footprint, however greenwashing is still prevalent within many industries, so ensuring companies are genuine about their eco-friendly actions is a must. As a consumer, you have the power to choose authentic, genuine brands that are serious about protecting the planet and raising awareness of the environmental crisis.

By choosing brands who are doing good, you in turn, are doing your bit for the environment too. So be sure to look for businesses that are open and transparent about their sustainability journey, who offer planet friendly options wherever possible, and package and ship those planet friendly options to you in an eco conscious way. More than four in ten shoppers say they would pay more for a sustainably sourced product and 70% of shoppers say it’s important for them to buy from companies whose values align with their own, so seeking out and using environmentally conscious businesses really is a consumer led trend^[8].

At Priory Direct we truly believe in awareness, access and authenticity when it comes to sustainability and our journey to becoming as planet friendly as possible. There is always more that can be done, and we work hard every day to ensure we’re doing our bit. To find out more about what we’ve been up to so far, check out our case study.

We know that not one business, or one individual can solve the climate crisis on their own, so it’s more important than ever before that we all pull together and take small, actionable steps to do our bit to reduce carbon emissions and protect our planet. Be the change you wish to see in the world and start your eco journey today.
