Sourceful helped Thrift+ to reduce the amount of plastic from their packaging through two key solutions:

  1. Paper Mailers: FSC Certified, 100% kerbside recyclable and made in the UK
  2. 98% recycled LDPE mailer bags, recyclable at local collection points

Better for business and the planet: Sourceful optimised packaging sizes, boosting efficiency by making sure Thrift+ could ship anything from small to large bags of clothes.

The new paper & 98% LDPE mailer bags feature high-impact branding and messaging, building brand loyalty and encouraging customers to share images & videos of their purchases across social media.

Result

Delivering savings & efficiency through improved packaging supply chain

The packaging project helped Thrift+ reduce packaging costs -11% (paper mailers vs previous plastic solution), showing that brands can embrace more sustainable solutions while avoiding increased costs.

Thrift+ has also boosted supply chain efficiency with the help of Sourceful’s Auto-Stock platform, which allows them to manage their packaging in one simple online portal and reorder in a few clicks.
