N Brown Group is to use green polyethelyne (green PE) despatch bags across its JD Williams, Simply Be, Jacanmo, Ambrose Wilson and Home Essentials brands. Green PE is made from a sugar cane derived polymer which is entirely renewable. The bags will initially replace some 90 per cent of the company’s packaging rising to 100 per cent by end of the year. The bags are produced by Duo UK.
CEO of Retail at N Brown, Sarah Welsh said: “We believe online fashion should be sustainable, and a key element of that is reducing the use of plastic across the delivery process,”
