May 24, 2007Recycled Packaging
To keep my shipping charges down and reduce waste, when I fill book orders I like to reuse packaging from my own purchases. It makes sense to me, but someone who receives an order from SpeakStrong in an Amazon box might not understand my logic. The answer came on a package I received from author Tom Antion – bearing a sticker that said
- We use recycled packaging.
That simple framing turned a potential liability – a used box – into a plus – recycling.
My orders now go out with a recycling sticker.

Dear Meryl,
I LOVE this idea! Can you tell us where to order the stickers so I can put them on my recycled boxes?
Thanks!

I love this. I try to recycle whenever I can and I appreciate the efforts of others who do this also. I would be honored to receive items in packages used before as I do this a lot in my personal life, but now with this idea I will openly do it in my business life as well.
