My posters are shipped and packaged in Ecocaps tubes. The world's first sustainable, plastic-free packaging solution to replace disposable caps.
Developed with 100% recycled paper products, including a unique blend of newspaper, cardboard and cellulose, Ecocaps are fully compostable, biodegradable and recyclable, eliminating the need for traditional plastic caps and saving two pieces — or 10g/0.3oz — of plastic per shipment of our roll prints and posters in Europe, the UK and the USA.
Two pieces of plastic may not seem like much, but to put things in perspective, replacing the plastic caps on our cardboard shipping tubes with Ecocaps has already resulted in the removal of thousands of pieces of plastic from our logistics. And with the world currently producing a staggering 141 million tons of plastic packaging per year, and with global parcel shipping projected to reach 256 billion by 2027, every sustainable switch represents a significant impact on reducing plastic waste.
We are always looking for ways to improve our carbon footprint, including reducing our plastic consumption. And while we successfully eliminated plastic film from our supply chain last year, we still have a long way to go to reach our goal of being 100% plastic-free. Achieving plastic-free status is something we are actively working towards and plan to do so through a series of continuous changes and improvements.
Our Ecocaps are water-resistant and have undergone rigorous testing to ensure they match the durability and water resistance of our cardboard mailing tubes. We are confident they will provide the necessary level of protection for your prints and posters during shipping. Ecocaps also weigh 40% less than their plastic counterparts and take up less space when stacked, optimizing shipping and allowing us to send them at a lower cost.
