During COP26, the UK waste services industry unveiled plans to reach net-zero carbon emissions on waste processing by 2040. While there is still a lot more to do in terms of government legislation to enforce stricter landfill targets, it\u2019s up to individuals to do all they can to reduce the amount of trash they create on a daily basis.<\/p><p>Switching out single-use plastics for sustainable household products \u2013 like coffee cups, reusable bags and metal straws \u2013 is one way we can all reduce the amount we throw away. We can also look to change our consumption habits. For example, we can take an inventory of the stuff in our homes and ask ourselves:<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Do we really need these products?<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Do we already have items we can repair and re-purpose?\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Do the products we buy contain harmful toxins? Which ingredients provide a safer alternative?<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Can we buy something second-hand to save the energy required to create a new item from scratch?<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Do our gifts to friends and family need to be physical items?\u00a0<\/li><li>Is there a way to get rid of the things we don&#8217;t need without throwing them away, such as donating items to charity?<\/li><\/ul><p>However, for e-commerce brand owners looking to increase profits, encouraging customers to adopt zero-waste ethics can seem a little counterproductive. For instance, suppose you run an e-commerce homeware brand that sells kitchen items. In that case, you could easily take single-use plastics off your store listings. But what can you replace these items with to increase profits and still maintain your eco-credentials?<\/p><p>The answer is to select eco-friendly household products and cleverly market your goods to inspire people to make wiser buying decisions.

However, you must ensure that your supply chain partners are also aligned with your brand\u2019s environmentally friendly goals. Do all you can to avoid being accused of \u2018greenwashing\u2019 by consumers.\u00a0<\/p><p>Greenwashing is a process where less-than-reputable companies attempt to promote an eco-friendly image, but partake in environmentally harmful practices behind the scenes. When sourcing goods from international suppliers, don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions about the manufacturing process.\u00a0<\/p><p>Check that your supplier partners are up-to-date with the latest environmental legislation, and doing all they can to reduce waste. Tailor your supplier contracts to include environmentally sustainable business practices, and check that your suppliers are upholding their sustainability obligations as part of your regular risk assessment protocol.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3119cf03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3119cf03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/15\/2024\/05\/20240327031331810.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-32122\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/15\/2024\/05\/20240327031331810.png 160w, https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/15\/2024\/05\/20240327031331810-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35a46271 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"35a46271\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">WorldFirst<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66e14445 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"66e14445\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f451ad4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1f451ad4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6973b8b7 Last3Articles elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"6973b8b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><div class=\"blogs_container\">\n                    <div class=\"blogs_item\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/uk\/blogs\/business-tips\/turn-first-time-buyers-into-long-term-customers\/\" class=\"blog_img_box\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/15\/2025\/01\/lQDPJwY7Ghz-SSXNA1HNBQCwXzv5ncmDU7IHiKdyB0sMAA_1280_849.jpg\"\n                     alt=\"cover_img\" class=\"cover_img\" loading=\"lazy\">\n            <\/a>\n            <div class=\"blog_abstract\">\n                <h1>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/uk\/blogs\/business-tips\/turn-first-time-buyers-into-long-term-customers\/\">How to turn first-time buyers into long-term customers<\/a>\n                <\/h1>\n                <p>Find actionable strategies for e-commerce businesses to keep new customers engaged and create lasting loyalty with this guide from WorldFirst.<\/p>\n                <span>Jan \/ 2025<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"blogs_item\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/uk\/blogs\/business-tips\/what-is-erp\/\" class=\"blog_img_box\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/what-is-ERP-blog-1-scaled-1.jpeg\"\n                     alt=\"cover_img\" class=\"cover_img\" loading=\"lazy\">\n            <\/a>\n            <div class=\"blog_abstract\">\n                <h1>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/uk\/blogs\/business-tips\/what-is-erp\/\">What\u2019s an ERP?
