How We Give Packaging a Second Life. 

The Story Behind Our Upcycled Materials:

 At Common Market, we are passionate about more than just the products we offer. We’re deeply committed to making a positive impact on the environment. That’s why we’ve embraced a sustainable approach to packaging, turning everyday materials into eco-friendly shipping solutions. Here, we’re excited to share how we up-cycle and reuse packaging materials to ensure your orders arrive safely and sustainably

1. Sourcing and Sorting Materials:

Our journey begins with collecting used packaging materials. We gather items such as old boxes, bubble wrap, and paper from various sources. Each piece of material is carefully sorted to ensure it’s clean and suitable for reuse. This step is crucial as it helps us maintain high standards for both hygiene and functionality. 

2. Creative Repurposing:

Once sorted, our team gets creative. Old cardboard boxes are reinforced and reshaped into durable shipping containers, while used paper is transformed into cushioning and decorative wrapping. We believe that with a little imagination, even the most ordinary materials can become something special. By repurposing materials, we not only reduce waste but also add a unique touch to each order.

3. Packing with Purpose:

When it’s time to pack your order, we carefully select the most appropriate upcycled materials. Whether it’s a box padded with recycled paper or a package wrapped in colourful, repurposed material, we put thought into every detail. Also, we do not shy away from used plastics, be in parcel bags or bubble wraps as this is our way of keeping them out of our landfills.

Why Upcycling Matters:

By up-cycling and reusing materials, we’re not only minimising waste but also reducing the need for new resources. This approach aligns with our core values and helps us contribute to a more sustainable future. It’s a small step that can make a big difference, and we’re proud to be part of this movement.

Our hope is that this small gesture inspires you to consider sustainable practices in your own life.
