ACTIVITIES
To meet its environmental commitments, La Poste has developed new eco-designed and reusable pack- aging. This 100% recyclable packaging is designed in an eco-responsible way, using a minimum of 70% re- cycled material, starch glue and vegetable-based ink. Designed to be used twice without deterioration and without the addition of tape or other materials, these packs have two easy-open strips and two adhesive strips: one for the initial dispatch and a second for re-sending to encourage re-use. Since the beginning of 2022, this new dual-use pouch has been available for dispatch throughout mainland France.
When the recipient reuses the pouch they have received, all they have to do is buy a Colissimo franking sticker and send their parcel to the destination of their choice from their personal mailbox, from a
street letterbox or from a post office.
Following the success of the dual-use pouch, La Poste expanded reusable packaging to the entire franking and ready-to-send range. Since late 2023, all plastic and cardboard franking formats are dual-use, and La Poste no longer sells non-reusable plastic pouches!
