Global Funk follows a reduce-reuse-recycle-replace approach to packaging.
REDUCE: Limit packaging and materials used for packaging.
• Reduced size of polybags for all garments
• Reduced thickness of garment polybags
• All suppliers are required to reduce use of plastic
REUSE: Use packaging as many times as possible and use recycled materials.
• All garment polybags are made of recycled and recyclable plastic
RECYCLE: Make sure packaging can be and is recycled.
• Plastic sorting system installed in our entire organisation
• No logo on garment polybags to make recycling as clean as possible
REPLACE: Use new and less harmful solutions when possible
• Research new packaging solutions that serve the same purpose as the conventional, but with a less harmful impact
