Launched in 1970, it now mobilises more than one billion people across 193 countries.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 theme, \u2018Our Power, Our Planet\u2019, is all about how environmental progress is built through the smaller decisions we make every day, not just big, sweeping policies. For businesses, packaging is one of those decisions, and it\u2019s such a simple change to make. It affects material consumption, waste generation, transport weight and end-of-life recyclability. And with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation now in full swing in the UK, sustainable packaging has a direct impact on your costs too.<\/p>\n<p>If you acted on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/earth-day-2024-ways-your-business-can-help-the-environment\">Earth Day 2024 guide<\/a>, this article takes things further with specific product swaps you can make today.<\/p>\n<h2>Five packaging changes to make for World Earth Day 2026<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Switch to right-sized recyclable cardboard boxes<\/h3>\n<p>A box that fits your product reduces void fill, lowers transport weight and cuts material waste in a single move. Here at RAJAPACK, we offer more than 900 different box sizes, and over 1,500 of our products contain recycled materials. Right-sizing also reduces your PEPR-modulated fees, which are calculated partly by packaging weight.<\/p>\n<p>Browse our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/cardboard-boxes_C10.html\">recyclable cardboard box range<\/a> to find the right-sized boxes for your business.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Replace plastic mailers with paper-based alternatives<\/h3>\n<p>Plastic mailing bags are among the most common sources of non-recyclable waste in e-commerce despatch. Our paper-padded mailers and cardboard envelopes are fully recyclable. And our bubble-lined mailer goes further as the bubble layer separates from the paper outer, so both materials can be recycled separately, which is something standard plastic mailers can\u2019t do.<\/p>\n<p>Explore our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/envelopes-mailing-bags\/cardboard-envelopes-mailers_C1214.html\">paper mailers and cardboard envelopes<\/a> to find the right fit.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Move to reusable packaging with Movopack<\/h3>\n<p>Reuse removes the disposal problem entirely, rather than replacing one single-use material with another. Movopack pouches, exclusively available through RAJAPACK, are made from post-consumer PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) materials, including recycled plastic bottles. They\u2019re designed for multiple use cycles before being fully recycled at end of life.<\/p>\n<p>Research from City to Sea and Ecosurety found that 77% of UK consumers now expect all retailers to offer reusable or returnable packaging as a permanent alternative to single-use waste. Find out more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/mailing\/mailing-bags_C2041.html?&amp;query=movopack&amp;SearchCat=suggested&amp;SearchQuery=movopack\">Movopack reusable packaging<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Swap polystyrene for recyclable cardboard protection<\/h3>\n<p>Polystyrene is widely rejected by kerbside collection schemes. We\u2019ve replaced polystyrene corner protection in our range with 100% recyclable cardboard corner protectors that perform the same protective function. Our packaging specialists can help you find paper or cardboard alternatives for other polystyrene formats in your operation, and you can explore the options in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/environmental_cms_000045.html\">eco-responsible packaging selection<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Audit your packaging using the 5 Rs<\/h3>\n<p>Our 5-Rs framework (<strong>R<\/strong>educe, <strong>R<\/strong>euse, <strong>R<\/strong>eplace, <strong>R<\/strong>enew, <strong>R<\/strong>ecycle) gives you a structured way to assess each material in your packaging operation and prioritise improvements to create a circular economy. You don\u2019t need to act on all five at once. Start with the area of highest volume or cost, and work through the others quarter by quarter. Our complete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/environment\/5R-waste-reduction\">RAJAPACK 5-Rs guide<\/a> walks you through each step in detail.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Recycable-packaging-blog-image-430x315.jpg\" alt=\"Three recyclable paper cups.\" width=\"723\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Recycable-packaging-blog-image-430x315.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Recycable-packaging-blog-image-1024x749.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Recycable-packaging-blog-image-768x562.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Recycable-packaging-blog-image-1536x1124.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Recycable-packaging-blog-image-2048x1499.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What to do next<\/h2>\n<p>The changes above aren\u2019t seasonal.
