Our Commitment to Sustainable Underwear Packaging

Zoralink is a sustainably‑focused underwear supplier committed to supply chain sustainability in every step of our packaging process. We aim for 100% of our shipping materials—such as boxes, cushions, and mailers—to be reusable, recyclable.

Types of Eco‑Friendly Packaging We Use

Zoralink takes concrete action to ensure our packaging breaks down naturally without harming the environment:

Hemp

Sourced from the cannabis plant, untreated hemp packaging is fully biodegradable and highly durable—making it an essential eco‑packaging material for our orders.

PLA (Polylactic Acid)

PLA is a bioplastic made from renewable plant starch (typically corn). It offers a biodegradable alternative to petroleum‑based plastics in our mailers and packing films.

Cellulose

Derived from wood pulp, cellulose packaging is a renewable, compostable material that decomposes quickly and reduces plastic use in our supply chain.

Recycled Cardboard

We use repurposed cardboard boxes and inserts that save up to 90% water and 50% electricity compared to virgin cardboard, all while maintaining strength and durability.

Corrugated Bubble Wrap

Our corrugated bubble wrap, made from upcycled and recycled paper, provides protective cushioning and is fully curbside‑recyclable and biodegradable.

Bio‑Plastics

We incorporate certified compostable bio‑plastics—like cornstarch‑based PBAT blends—that mimic conventional plastic performance yet biodegrade under industrial composting.

Embrace Sustainability with Zoralink

We empower our partners to uphold their eco‑conscious values by choosing packaging that supports supply chain sustainability. Moreover, our reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable materials help brands responsibly manage waste and reduce carbon footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does biodegradable packaging impact delivery times?

Most biodegradable materials we use—like PLA mailers and recycled cardboard—perform comparably to conventional packaging in transit. Therefore, you won’t experience longer shipping times, yet you’ll reduce environmental impact.

Can I customize the branding on eco-friendly packaging?

Yes. We offer full private‑label options, including custom printing and embossing on recycled cardboard, compostable mailers, and hemp bags, so your brand stands out while remaining sustainable.

Are compostable mailers suitable for international shipments?

Absolutely. Our PLA and PBAT mailers meet international compostability standards and are durable enough for long‑distance transport, ensuring your underwear products arrive safely and sustainably.

What happens if biodegradable packaging ends up in landfill?

While biodegradable materials perform best in industrial composting, they still degrade faster than traditional plastics in landfills, reducing long‑term pollution even when composting facilities aren’t available.

How can I communicate our supply chain sustainability to my customers?

We provide detailed packaging inserts and digital assets highlighting our eco‑friendly materials and certifications. You can include these with your shipments or on your website to showcase your brand’s commitment.
