Reducing Manufacturer Waste: Solutions from The Packaging Doctor
Hey there! Let’s say your business is going through an environmental overhaul. You’ve already looked into your packaging and made some positive changes internally. But now you’re facing another challenge: your manufacturer keeps sending overloads of big boxes that end up as waste. Well, good news! Kite’s Packaging Doctor specializes in eco-friendly fixes and has a variety of solutions to tackle this kind of environmentally damaging situation.
Dear Doctor,
My company is trying to transition to more sustainable packaging while cutting down on waste. First off, I’d love to hear your thoughts on what products you’d recommend for protecting wooden tables and furniture pieces that we ship out. Secondly, we’re struggling with the sheer volume of large cardboard boxes we receive from our suppliers. Recycling is proving difficult due to the amount, and I understand it would be better to find ways to reduce or reuse materials wherever possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Joanne
Dear Joanne,
Thanks for reaching out! At Kite, we’re always excited to help businesses like yours make greener choices. It’s fantastic to see your commitment to reducing your environmental footprint. One of our latest offerings is the incredible hivewrap, which is designed to replace traditional plastic bubble wrap entirely. Made from 100% recyclable and biodegradable paper, it’s both eco-friendly and budget-friendly. This wrap is super flexible, easily molding around corners and edges, making it perfect for even the trickiest furniture pieces. Its hexagonal design interlocks beautifully, eliminating the need for extra tape or glue, further minimizing your environmental impact. The natural kraft appearance is not only visually appealing but also highlights your brand’s green values while providing excellent protection to your goods.
For shipping, I suggest placing each individually wrapped item into a cardboard postal box. Kite offers a variety of styles and sizes, ensuring flexibility for your diverse product range without any plastic involved.
Regarding those large boxes from your manufacturers, you’ll be thrilled to learn that Kite provides top-notch shredding machines for just this issue. Your company is uniquely positioned to turn these deliveries into free void fill by using a cardboard shredder. Not only does this cut down on delivery waste, but it also creates shredded material that works as excellent void fill. These shredded bits can serve as a cost-effective alternative to foam or plastic fill and can even be reused by the customer receiving the package.
For added security when sending high-value items, consider our reinforced paper tape. With its strong adhesive properties and plastic-free design, these tapes are completely recyclable, ensuring a fully sustainable process.
We hope these suggestions help, but don’t hesitate to reach out again if you have further concerns!
Best wishes,
The Packaging Doctor

A sand clock glass is a transparent container that is used to hold sand in an hourglass or sand timer. The glass is typically made of durable material such as glass or plastic and is shaped in an inverted cone or bulb shape. The sand is placed in the upper bulb or cone, and as it flows through a small opening into the lower bulb or cone, it measures a specific amount of time. The sand clock glass allows for easy visibility of the sand as it flows, making it a popular choice for timing activities or games.
