Ways to Reduce or Reuse
Reduce waste by purchasing mailing supplies made from sustainable or 100% recyclable materials.
Reuse non-recyclable paper/bubble mailers to ship your own items - just cover the old label and re-seal the opened end.
Repurpose bubble mailers as a protective wrapping to ship or store fragile items.
