Thuiswinkel.org is to launch a study into the amount of unused space in shipping boxes of online shops. The interest group aims to ensure sustainable shipping of online parcels. For example, Thuiswinkel.org wants packaging material to be thinner, packaging to have less empty space and packaging material to be recycled.
Multi-year plan
To this end, the association has submitted a sustainability plan to State Secretary Wilma Mansveld of Infrastructure and the Environment. This is a multi-year plan. This year, research will start on empty space in shipping materials. Attention will also be paid to the amount of sustainable plastic padding material.
Informative role
Thuiswinkel.org ultimately wants to play primarily an informing role in the field of sustainable packaging. "We are going to inform the right parties. They ultimately have to take responsibility themselves," said the interest association.
