🌍 Consumers Demand More Sustainable Packaging from Online Retailers As online shopping continues to dominate across all generations, Macfarlane Packaging's 9th annual unboxing survey reveals that 76% of UK consumers now expect sustainable packaging as standard, a substantial increase from just 47% last year. Key insights include: • Returnable packaging: 89% of shoppers are open to returning packaging for reuse—if the retailer covers the cost. • Sustainability concerns: 21% of consumers would boycott retailers who don't use sustainable packaging. • Branding opportunities: 56% of shoppers said branded packaging could encourage repeat purchases, yet only 58% of packages are branded. • Packaging clarity: 56% reported packaging lacked clear recycling instructions, a crucial area for improvement. Retailers have made strides in reducing product damage (down to just 3%) and ensuring ease of opening (95%). Still, challenges remain in aligning with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations, which demand more sustainable solutions and transparent recycling information. At BCP, we understand the critical role packaging plays in shaping customer experiences and sustainability goals. Our market-leading supply chain software empowers wholesalers and retailers to manage operations effectively, from procurement to warehouse optimisation, enabling businesses to meet rising consumer expectations.

A recent article highlights a significant issue in the e-commerce industry: 44% of returned items are never resold. This situation not only results in financial losses for retailers but also contributes to increased waste and environmental impact. At LoopOS, we're committed to improving how retailers manage returns by offering tools that help reduce the number of unsold items. Our platform enables retailers to implement innovative solutions such as "wall of shame" stores and integrate with specialized marketplaces for discounted items. Here’s how LoopOS can assist: 🔄 "Wall of Shame" Stores: Retailers can create dedicated outlets—either online or physical—where returned items are sold at discounted prices. This ensures that products find new homes, reducing waste and financial loss. ⚙️ Integration with Marketplaces for Discounted Items: LoopOS allows retailers to list returned products on specialized marketplaces focused on discounted goods. This provides an additional channel for reselling returned items efficiently. 💡 Automated Decision-Making: Our platform streamlines the returns process, from assessing item conditions to selecting the most effective resale strategy. This approach minimizes overhead and maximizes the chances of reselling returned items. 🌍 Supporting Sustainability: By enabling these solutions, LoopOS helps retailers recover value from returned items while contributing to a more sustainable retail ecosystem. LoopOS is here to support retailers in turning the challenge of returns into an opportunity for efficiency and sustainability. Together, we can make a positive impact by ensuring that every return is managed responsibly. #Ecommerce #Sustainability #ReturnsManagement #LoopOS #Innovation #RetailTech #CircularEconomy

Many retailers are still working hard to remove the silos they put in place when they initially added e-commerce as a new channel. With the emergence of the circular economy and the need to embrace sustainable principles retailers are increasingly adding resale, repair and recycle to their business models. Department stores johnlewis and Selfridges have some interesting initiatives in place along with most other retailers and brand owners. But these need to be integrated closely with the rest of the business and not just bolted on as arms-length additions. This involves some complex work but it is an imperative because retailers need to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and adding more silos. My column, with the support of BetterCommerce, explores this theme.
