As a private customer, how can I reduce packaging waste when shipping with GLS?
As a private customer, you can reduce packaging waste when shipping with us by using the reusable shipping option. In cooperation with our partners Boomerang and hey circle, we offer reusable shipping packaging as a sustainable alternative to disposable cardboard boxes.
Advantages of reusable packaging:
- The packaging can be reused up to 50 times, reducing packaging waste by up to 80 % compared to conventional disposable cartons.
- There are various water and dirt-repellent packaging solutions, e.g. flexible shipping bags for unbreakable goods or robust boxes for sensitive products.
- A simple deposit system ensures that the packaging remains in the shipping cycle.
- You can buy or lease the reusable packaging or pay per shipment.
How to take part:
If you are interested in the returnable shipping option, you can contact us via the Contact form and find out about the possibilities.
