How To Build a Fulfilment Infrastructure That Will Scale With Your Business

with Harry DrajpuchfromAmware Fulfillment

Harry provides practical guidance on implementing sustainable fulfilment practices that align with cost efficiency. Listeners will discover how right-sized packaging reduces both environmental waste and dimensional weight penalties from carriers, creating dual benefits. Harry explains the shift from plastic void fill (air bags, peanuts) to paper-based alternatives that decompose properly in landfills. He discusses using recycled corrugated materials and recycled paper products, completing the recycling loop rather than always consuming virgin materials. The key insight: sustainability improvements needn't require sacrifice—when implemented thoughtfully, environmental benefits coincide with cost reductions, representing rare business decisions delivering both profit and planet benefits simultaneously.
