Today I got a FedEx envelop that was reusable. The design is simple. Under the current closure is a secondary closure. As you rip open the first closure, you are left with a secondary closure. Each envelop now gets used twice cutting in half the amount of envelops that get trashed. Genius, now if they can put a reusable opening on each of the other 3 sides of the envelop they would cut trash by another 50% x 50% x 50%. From an initial reduction of waste of 50%, they would reduce waste by over 95% (assuming all envelops get re-used to the max. The reusable envelop is ONLY available in Legal size, why NOT in letter size?Great start FedEx, great innovation. Look forward to more such small innovations to report about. If you know of any, let me know.
