Although the approach of recyclable packaging for the mail order business is to be welcomed, the EU has unfortunately forgotten to set uniform logistics standards throughout Europe.
Online retailers have long been experimenting with their own packaging solutions made from recycled materials that are suitable for dozens of shipping cycles. However, this alone will not be enough for the acceptance of reusable shipping. Not least because customers still have to do a lot themselves to return the packaging and the systems differ from retailer to retailer.
