Glow Greener: Our Sustainable Packaging & Tree‑Planting Promise

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We believe bright experiences shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. That’s why every Glow Outlet order arrives in packaging that’s as thoughtful as it is functional.

Locally made, fully recyclable packaging

Our boxes and mailers are crafted here in the UK from responsibly sourced, FSC‑certified cardboard. Paper and cardboard are widely recognised as the most sustainable packaging option—research shows that three‑quarters of consumers view these materials as home‑compostable and biodegradable, and they’re recycled at higher rates than any other packaging material in Europe.

Minimal, plastic‑free design

Less is more. We use snug‑fit boxes, paper padding and water‑based inks to keep your order safe without unnecessary waste. In a 2025 study, 61 % of shoppers said minimal packaging is their top sustainability priority—so we aim to deliver only what you need and nothing you don’t.

We plant a tree for every order

For every purchase, we fund the planting of a tree through our partner Ecologi, helping to offset the carbon footprint of your packaging and restore forests around the world. Swiftpak, a UK packaging provider, shows how tree‑planting programmes can meaningfully reduce paper‑packaging waste. We proudly display a “tree planted” badge on your parcel so you know your purchase is making a difference.

Designed for reuse and easy recycling

Our sturdy boxes are perfect for storing crafts, organising drawers or re‑packing gifts. When you’re ready to dispose of them, simply place them in your household recycling or home compost—just another way we help close the loop.

Clear eco labels & transparency

We print clear sustainability credentials on every package, because shoppers pay attention—70 % prefer packaging with visible eco‑labels. We want you to know exactly how to dispose of your packaging and the impact it has.
