Packaging Guidelines
At Westwing, we care about how our products are packaged, as we want
them to be delivered safely to our customers, while having a minimal impact on the environment. Our approach to packaging is holistic. Whether it is the packaging used to ship products from our suppliers to our warehouses or from our warehouses directly to our customers, we want to operate in accordance with the highest standards. For this reason, we developed our Sustainable Packaging Guidelines.
After piloting sustainable packaging guidelines with our key Westwing Collection suppliers in late 2021, we have made significant progress toward more sustainable packaging solutions. We successfully eliminated Styrofoam and made major strides in replacing single-use plastic components such as fitting bags, ribbons, and tapes with paper alternatives. In addition, we continue to prioritise the use of recycled materials and have reduced overall packaging volume. These improvements mark important steps in our effort to lower the environmental impact of our packaging while maintaining the high standards of product protection during transit.
Over the next few years, we will collaborate with existing and new suppliers as we look to address all packaging challenges in the same systematic way.
