How Internel is Leading the Way Towards Greener E-Commerce
How would YOU like to receive your online order?
Think about it: the excitement of unboxing a package, that first physical connection to your purchase. It’s just like walking into a store, seeing the product on the shelf, touching it, and feeling that satisfaction in your choice. But what happens when that excitement is dulled by layers of plastic and unnecessary packaging?
At Internel, we know that today’s consumers- from Gen Z to boomers– want something better. They don’t want plastic or wasteful packaging, and frankly, neither do we. That’s why we have made it our mission to revolutionise the way e-commerce orders are packed and shipped. And that is what you got from us – in the name of your online store – in your last purchase.
Saying no to plastic
We see it everywhere: eco-friendly products sold by e-shops, wrapped in plastic bubble wrap. Or cosmetics brands that promote cruelty-free products but use plastic-filled parcels that contribute to ocean pollution. And do not get us started on filling materials made of “scrapped boxes” normally coming along with parts of plastic tape- those materials are not just messy; they are far from sustainable.
This is what we call greenwashing, and it’s time to leave that behind.
At Internel, we are doing things differently. We are committed to offering packaging that not only protect your order but also protects the planet. A box that fits perfectly, leaving no empty space and ensuring your products arrive safe and secure, is key to a great unboxing experience. And we do it all without plastic.
Certified sustainable materials – 100% plastic-free
What does this look like in practice? It means all the materials we use at Internel are either FSC-certified or made from recycled resources. From our boxes to our delivery notes and parcel sealing tapes, we ensure that your parcel is wrapped in the most sustainable way possible. We even use honeycomb paper to wrap sensitive products or biodegradable cornstarch filling materials for cushioning.
For textiles and garments, we have gone a step further with biodegradable foil bags. The result? A 100% plastic-free e-commerce parcel that is as kind to the planet as it is functional.
Are we perfect? No – but we are committed
Like any logistics company, we face challenges. Yes, our parcels still travel across Europe in vans that often rely on traditional fuels, and not all electricity for transport vehicles comes from renewable sources. But at Internel, we are doing everything we can to make our operations as sustainable as possible. We are not hypocrites- we are realists with a passion for progress.
Our dream? To ship 100% plastic-free parcels to thousands of happy customers across Europe- and we are already living that dream every day.
Why should this matter to you?
When you choose a product shipped by Internel, you are not just getting your order- you are making a statement. You are saying yes to less waste, yes to thoughtful packaging, and yes to a better future for e-commerce. Whether or not the e-shop you buy from prioritises sustainability, we have got you covered. We walk the talk, every single day.
