Unmasking the Myth of “Recycled Poly” Packaging: Why Paper Mailers Are the True Green Choice
Let’s talk about something that’s been gaining traction lately – “recycled poly” packaging. If you’ve noticed eco-friendly labels on plastic mailers promising sustainability, you’re not alone. But how eco-friendly are they, really? Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on why paper mailers from Wisconsin Converting, Inc. (WCI) are a better, more reliable choice for both the environment and your business.
The Reality of “Recycled Poly” Packaging
At first glance, recycled poly mailers sound like an excellent step toward greener practices. But here’s the catch: their environmental claims often don’t stand up to scrutiny. Let’s break it down.
1. Limited Recycling Options
Most people assume recycled poly mailers can go straight into their curbside recycling bins. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. They often require specialized drop-off centers, and even finding those can be a challenge.
2. Low Recycling Rates
According to the EPA, only 9% of plastic waste is actually recycled. That means the majority of these mailers either end up in landfills, are incinerated for energy, or are shipped overseas – where they may still not be recycled responsibly.
Why Paper Mailers from WCI Are a Better Option
If you’re serious about sustainability and practicality, paper mailers are the way to go. Here’s why WCI’s paper mailers stand out:
1. Simple Curbside Recycling
Unlike recycled poly, paper mailers are universally recyclable. Just toss them into your curbside recycling bin – no special trips or additional effort required.
2. Proven Recycling Success
Paper boasts a recycling rate of 68%, as reported by the American Forest & Paper Association. That’s a dramatic improvement over plastic’s 9%. By choosing paper, you can feel confident your packaging is being repurposed, not wasted.
3. Biodegradable and Compostable
Plastic, including recycled poly, lingers for centuries in landfills. Paper, on the other hand, breaks down naturally and can even be composted. It’s a benefit that speaks directly to the growing consumer demand for truly eco-friendly solutions.
What This Means for Distributors
As a distributor, switching to WCI’s paper mailers doesn’t just benefit the planet – it strengthens your business. Here’s how:
- Reassure Your Customers: Offer a product that’s genuinely recyclable and aligns with eco-conscious values.

- Simplify Sustainability: Paper mailers take the complexity out of going green, making it easier for everyone in the supply chain.
