If the last decade taught us anything, it’s that every zipper, seam, and shipping label tells a story. At ERXIU we decided the packaging itself should be as performance-driven as the leggings inside it. Last year we quietly rolled out new mailers, sleeves, and labels designed to cut carbon, protect oceans, and give forests a head start. This report is the first time we’re sharing the full scorecard—no glossy filters, no greenwashing. Just the numbers, the stumbles, and the next stretch goals
Forty-Two Tonnes of CO₂ Never Emitted
Switching from virgin-plastic mailers to ones made of 100 % post-consumer recycled LDPE sounds like a small tweak, but the math adds up fast. Each recycled mailer produces 68 % fewer greenhouse-gas emissions than its conventional twin. Multiply that by 1.2 million shipments and you arrive at 42.4 tonnes of CO₂-e avoided. To picture it: that’s the annual exhaust of nine gasoline cars left in park, or the energy used to power 18 average homes for an entire year. The recycled resin is sourced from curbside programs across South-East Asia—material that was already on its way to landfill or incineration. We also shaved 12 % off our outbound freight weight because the recycled material is slightly lighter, trimming fuel burn on trucks and cargo flights. None of this required customers to change behavior; the only difference they noticed was a small “42 t CO₂ saved” stamp on the back flap
