Etsy’s partnership with EcoEnclose offers sellers packaging made from 100% recycled materials or certified responsibly sourced paper.* This earth-conscious packaging lets buyers know you run a more sustainable business, in sizes most commonly used by Etsy sellers.
We know that running a sustainable business is top of mind to Etsy buyers. 54% of surveyed Etsy buyers say they're more likely to purchase when an item ships in recyclable packaging.** So adopting more sustainable packaging practices can help you build trust with buyers and attract more shoppers this holiday season.
Not sure if it’s right for your shop? Order a free bundled sample kit to try EcoEnclose packaging before you commit—you’ll just need to cover the shipping cost.
Planet-Friendly Packaging is also built for volume. Ordering in bulk means lower costs per unit, and having your supplies sorted before the holiday rush means one less thing to manage when orders start coming in.
Why use Planet-Friendly Packaging?
The climate crisis is here. So we’re here to help.
At Etsy, we know the climate crisis can’t wait. That’s why we’re taking steps to do right by our planet, like committing to net-zero emissions and purchasing carbon offsets for shipping and packaging on all Etsy deliveries. Partnering with EcoEnclose to offer Planet-Friendly Packaging to Etsy sellers at competitive prices is just another way we’re helping to do right by our planet.
Overall, we have nine public impact goals, three of which are related to sustainability, including powering our offices and computing with 100% renewable electricity and running zero-waste operations. You can read more on our impact work at etsy.com/impact.
A lot of packaging material isn’t immediately recyclable. This is.
Paper-based material has been one of the most commonly accepted recyclables in the US, with recycling rates of up to 96.5%.*** So when your buyer receives Planet-Friendly Packaging made from 100% recycled materials or responsibly sourced paper, they can either reuse it or put it directly into a paper recycling bin.
Who can order Planet-Friendly Packaging?
Currently our Planet-Friendly Packaging partnership with EcoEnclose is only available to US sellers. We hope to extend this offering to more countries in the future.
Order a free bundled sample kit or place your order at ecoenclose.com/planet-friendly-packaging. All you need to do is pay for the shipping.
