Eco-sustainable packaging for shipping packaging

4 fundamental choices for an eco-sustainable shipping packaging!

Eco-friendly packaging, eco-sustainable packaging and green packaging are terms that have entered forcefully and by right into the daily lexicon. 
 
The problem of environmental pollution and waste disposal is in fact increasingly topical and must increasingly awaken the ethical awareness of companies and individuals. Consumers in the first place, increasingly attentive and demanding, reward products with a lower environmental impact and companies that are committed to putting into practice a circular economy that includes the production of packaging produced with eco-sustainable materials.
 
The Circular Economy, or the economic system that aims to reuse the various materials in subsequent production cycles, aims to promote recycling and reduce waste.
 
Following this principle, great attention must be paid to the packaging that is used for shipments. In fact, also thanks to e-commerce and the exponential growth of online purchases in recent years, the amount of packaging products in circulation is increasing significantly and the aim is therefore to have sustainable packaging. And, unlike in the past, it involves retail on two fronts: the store in fact receives the goods when it buys from the manufacturer and in turn sends it to the end customer who buys on its online store.
 
For this reason, we at Theca produce fully recyclable packaging: for an ethical spirit towards the environment and to offer a service to our customers who must dispose of the packaging in a clear, precise and functional way.
 
 
Corrugated cardboard

1 - We only use sturdy recyclable corrugated cardboard

When it comes to sustainable packaging, one of the first options to consider is recycled cardboard. Recycled corrugated cardboard is resistant to impact and is an ecological and economic solution for us who wish to reduce the environmental impact of our products.

Recycled cardboard is made by recovering used cardboard fibers and recovering them through cleaning, filtering and recycling processes. This process offers important environmental advantages, as it avoids the production of new materials, thus reducing the polluting emissions associated with the processing of raw materials. Furthermore, by using material that already exists, you do not contribute to the accumulation of waste in landfills.

Each recycled cardboard box is personalized with the THECA astucci logo to guarantee the originality of the packaging.

Paper tape

2 - We seal each carton with paper tape

We only use waterproof, impact and moisture resistant paper tape. The paper used for production is recycled and can be disposed of together with the cardboard. The recycled paper tape is personalized with the THECA astucci logo to guarantee the authenticity of the original packaging.

Recycled filling material

3 - We use 50% recycled filling material

- 50% recycled composition certification 

- Greenlight Re/C inflatable film

PP strap

4 - We close each carton with strap to keep it manageable and safe

Each carton is packed with polypropylene strapping, the most reliable solution because this material is strong and durable, allowing items to be kept safe during transport. Polypropylene strapping offers several advantages over other packing materials: it is resistant to breakage, light enough to be easily transported. The polypropylene strap is personalized with the THECA astucci logo to guarantee the authenticity of the original packaging.

Eco-sustainable packaging

 
All our packaging used for the shipment of orders is designed to be as eco-sustainable as possible and to facilitate disposal at the end of use also thanks to the total absence of plastic materials:
 
- the cardboard packaging is made of sturdy, 100% recyclable materials, to protect the products and ensure their integrity until they arrive at your premises;
- the adhesive tape is made entirely of paper;
- the internal filler that serves to protect the products from shocks is made with a biodegradable and non-polluting material, particularly lightweight to minimize shipping costs.
 
For completeness of information, we point out the only exception given by the small strap that allows you to easily seal and handle the packaging and represents 1% of the total material used for the complete packaging. To facilitate the disposal of our eco-sustainable packaging, we also produce in compliance with Directive 97/129 / EC and we report on the materials the identification codes that allow them to be disposed of in normal waste according to the indications of the individual Municipalities.

Remember the goods you receive are original if packed in cartons and packaged with strapping and paper tape customized with the THECA astucci logo.

We also identify each carton and all the packing boxes contained within, with a paper label printed with all the product data contained within each box. Plus there's also a QR-code that makes it easier to reorder the same product when you run out.

Follow the instructions below to use our QR-code.

QR code

What is the QR-Code for?

The QR Code (acronym for Quick Response Code) is a two-dimensional barcode, i.e. a type of barcode composed of a matrix of black and white blocks. Used in many industries, such as payment technology, marketing and logistics, it is often seen on food, beverage labels, advertising flyers and other printed materials. At THECA astucci we use QR codes to identify each individual package that we insert in your orders. In the photo on the side you can find an example of QR code on labeled packaging.

What does the square barcode contain?

QR Code contains data variables such as URLs, phone numbers, email addresses, and so on. The content of the THECA astucci qrcode contains all the data needed to identify the product you have purchased.

How does the QR-Code work?

QR Codes consist of groups of black and white squares representing binary sequences that correspond to alphanumeric strings. When you scan it with a device that recognizes the same, the application reads these binary strings and converts them into text format or URL that can be viewed on the mobile device.

The THECA astucci QR Code can be used to easily read information from any device enabled for barcode recognition. This means that you can scan a QR Code that you find on our ecological packaging with a smartphone and use it in our online shop.by reordering the same item without searching for it by typing in the code.
