Green fulfilment delivery solutions
For an e-commerce business, 93% of emissions are produced by outbound logistics. Consumers are demanding change – almost half of them would pay £1 extra for eco-friendly deliveries.
We’re proud to partner with delivery services that are emission conscious as well as zero-emission carbon-neutral. Offering both same-day and next-day delivery, we are at the forefront of sustainable, emission-free deliveries.

Green warehousing: Sustainable automation
A recent poll confirmed that 60% of internet users are willing to pay more money for products that are eco-friendly. This number is expected to increase as millennials and Gen Z will soon be a more prominent demographic in the eCommerce retail space. Younger generations actively approach their buying decisions with a sustainable outlook – and then align themselves with those brands accordingly. Aligning with an eco-friendly 3pl makes an impression for your brand while helping to provide environmental stability.
Combining your order fulfilment automation with eco-friendly practises makes Selazar the go-to solution for brands with sustainability in mind. We do this with plastic free alternatives, recycled cardboard, recycled paper and more.

Recycling & waste management
Many countries are reducing plastics to minimise carbon footprints – especially the UK.
As of April first (2022), the UK introduced a Plastic Packaging Tax (“PPT”). The main purpose is to incentivise businesses to reduce their use of plastic materials, specifically for plastic packaging.
Selazar supports this green initiative and is plastic free – reducing waste and supporting 21st-century sustainability initiatives.
We choose to refuse single-use plastics and packaging by supporting Plastic Free July.
Recyclable scrunch paper as an alternative to bubble wrap
According to National Geographic, of the estimated 400 million tons of plastic produced every year, 40% or 160 million tons, is used exclusively for primary and secondary packaging applications. Styrofoam fillers are plastic-based and wind up in landfills – taking hundreds of years to decompose. We use only recyclable scrunch paper as filler for all our packaging.
Plastic free mailing bags made from sugar cane
Sugar cane mailing bags are a sustainable alternative to standard polythene mailing bags. The primary raw material is a polymer that is derived from waste sugar cane instead of fossil fuel. These alternative bags improve your green credentials and reduce your carbon footprint.
Recyclable cardboard boxes
Selazar uses 100% corrugated cardboard for shipping all orders. Corrugated packaging contains recycled materials and is compostable – free from dyes and bleaches found in some manufacturing processes. It is also very durable and easily reusable.
Recycled corrugated cardboard is the only type of cardboard we use.
Plastic free gummed tape
Known as “water-activated tape,” plastic free gummed tape has many benefits. It is very strong with enhanced temperature tolerance while also being cheaper, and of course, is environmentally friendly. It is also a good tamper evident solution. Once the tape is removed from the box, it cannot be reapplied.
It is 100% recycled kraft paper saturated with a latex solution and natural latex-based adhesive. The tape is biodegradable, so perfect for landfills. For these reasons Selazar embraces this solution for all our warehouse operations.
