I just found eco friendly packing tape on http://www.ecopackstore.com for a MUCH better price than the CareMail $22 a roll! That’s crazy.

Noemi, I’ve also seen green shipping envelopes and containers at Target. I think they’re made by Scott. If you go to the office supply section you’ll see them. They’re padded envelopes that biodegrade! I just found them a couple of weeks ago. Thanks so much for reading!

Thank you SO much for posting this article. I’ve been searching high and low for environmentally friendly packaging to use when I send out items to my customers. So thank you again and again! I will definitely be buying caremail products from now on.

Here is today’s article on eco-shipping. I’ll shamelessly mention that my eco-envelopes are featured in the article.

Karen,

That’s an awesome idea! Your envelopes are super cool. Thanks so much for including that tutorial. I’ll have to give it a try myself!

Oh here is a tutorial on how to make the envelopes. The outer envelope is done in a similar way except you’ll be putting the inner envelope inside before you sew the last edge to close the envelope.

I sew magazine pages together to make envelopes, use as many pages as I need since they’ll act as padding. Then, I sew the outer envelope with any kind of tough paper (preferably with a clean surface to write the address on), and sew the inner envelope inside and seal it up. I use no tapes since I’m sewing the edges shut. I don’t need peanuts or bubble wraps. If you don’t sew, I have the envelopes for sale in my shop, ecogeneration.etsy
