Packaging almost always ends up in landfill and/or causing issues for wildlife and our environment. DRE is conscious of this and uses a range of ecofriendly items to pack your orders safely, ensuring safe delivery with as little impact on the environment as possible.
DRE currently uses:
- Recyclable Cardboard Boxes
- Biodegradable Void Fill
- Recyclable Polyfoam Wrap
- Recyclable Tissue and Kraft Paper
DRE has recently invested in a new packaging system and is phasing out the use of clear plastic packing tape, this will be replaced by water activated Kraft Paper Tape. The kraft tape is recyclable and doesn't need to be removed from boxes prior to recycling. This will be fully implemented as soon as current stores of clear packing tape are depleted.
DRE loves to recycle! DRE has a lot of packaging that arrives via incoming stock orders, extra life is given to all packaging that is good quality and clean. Specifically boxes, bubble wrap and polystyrene. DRE does this to keep these products out of the waste system for as long as possible.
Polystyrene is also known as EPS or Expanded Polystyrene. EPS is recyclable, however, its not an easy process. EPS can't go in your council recycling bin, but it can be dropped off at specific collection plants. Unfortunately, there are no regional collection plants local to DRE, so to keep it out of landfill as long as possible DRE opts to re-use it.
