How are you mitigating waste with your packaging?

Rolled Packaging 

Here at Cargo Crew, we are always looking for ways to implement more sustainable practices in all aspects of our business. A key part of this is rethinking our packaging to include less plastic across the board. Our first step in implementing change is to re-evaluate how we package garments that don't necessarily need to be flat packed and instead are are now choosing to roll these styles to reduce their packaging size which in turn, has reduced the amount of plastic by 20-60% across some selected styles! Whilst plastic packaging is still present, it's a first step in the right direction in making positive change and paves the way for more important work to follow. Styles that are now delivered rolled include: 

  • All tees in the Cargo Crew range 
  • Parker & Pippa Polos
  • Crew Knit Jumper & Cardigan
  • Chino Pants & Skirts
  • Jet Jeans & Skirts 

Home Compostable Packaging

We're proud to share that we're in the process of transitioning all core product lines packaging from plastic. wrap to home compostable packaging. All you need to do is place the packaging shell into your home compost and it will breakdown into your nutrient-rich compost. 

No compost at work or home? Reach out to your local community garden, cafes or schools to see if they're open to accepting compostable packaging.
