Eco Fulfilment
As eCommerce becomes increasingly popular, many customers are demanding sustainability. With more social awareness of the environment, consumers want ecological products through green fulfilment.
At least 36% of the consumers in the UK are choosing to go for sustainable products, and this number is expected to grow in the upcoming years. With that in mind, many eCommerce sites are choosing green fulfilment companies to handle packing and shipping in a sustainable manner.
Third-party logistics companies like Meteor Space provide sustainable packaging and efficient delivery so your company can maintain ecological commerce status. With order fulfilment off your hands, you can focus on manufacturing environmentally friendly products. Here’s how Meteor Space can help with eco fulfilment.
What Is Eco Fulfilment?
Nowadays, customers are seeking out sustainable products to cut down their carbon footprint. Additionally, customers also want these ecological products to be delivered in an environmentally-friendly manner. As such, many eCommerce companies are partnering with green fulfilment centres.
Eco fulfilment means that items will be organised efficiently to reduce errors and excessive waste. Fulfilment centres often use advanced software to maintain this efficiency by ensuring each product gets a barcode with essential details. Perishable products or goods with a best-before date are closely monitored to avoid unused stock and reduce waste.
When it comes to packaging, many green fulfilment centres use plastic alternatives such as paper for wrapping. Some consumers might worry that paper might not provide sufficient safety for goods; however, this sustainable material is specially designed for shipment purposes.
Once the items are packed, eco fulfilment companies maintain this efficiency with their delivery. Couriers deliver multiple packages at the same time to reduce their carbon footprint. Products are dispatched accurately to cut fuel consumption due to wrong delivery.

Benefits of Using Meteor Space for Eco Fulfilment
Green Packaging Solutions
Packaging material is one of the biggest culprits for high carbon emissions, so we at Meteor Space use green packing methods to reduce our carbon footprint. We use kitting and bundling to avoid using excessive boxes and materials without compromising the safety of items.
Our packers also use paper alternatives and other sustainable materials wherever possible to reduce the use of plastics. We also add recycled packaging to reduce waste, and our couriers can help you dispose of the packaging sustainably.
Eco-friendly Storage and Warehouse
Apart from our green packaging solutions, we also maintain sustainability at our warehouse. Our experts have designed and optimised the warehouse layout to reduce the time it takes to stock shipment and fulfil orders.
Meteor Space’s warehouse and storage centre are designed with renewable energy-powered electricity to reduce emissions. Solar panels are one of our warehouse's primary energy sources; these panels do not produce gas or emissions, helping us create a sustainable fulfilment warehouse.
Optimised and Sustainable Delivery Methods
Carbon emissions from vehicles have accelerated environmental harm, so we aim to make our delivery as sustainable as possible. We offer same-day delivery on several items, so items are less likely to sit in the warehouse for a long time.
Meteor Space also optimises vehicle routes to lower emissions by pre-planning stops to increase drop density. There are shorter times between our stops because our delivery drivers, dispatches and receivers maintain strong communication.
Technology-Driven Fulfilment Process
At Meteor Space, we provide our clients with various eCommerce integrated and innovative software without any additional cost. With these tools, you can seamlessly transition your system into ours and start fulfilling orders in no time.
Our WMS provide complete transparency on your stock information so you know which order is selling the most and which the least. The information is provided in real-time so you can easily replenish the inventory before it creates problems in the supply chain.
In addition, our clients have access to end-to-end tracking, so you know exactly when your products leave the warehouse and when they reach clients. With all these innovative tools, you can easily streamline the fulfilment process.
