Direct Mail Delivery and the Environment
Companies with interests in environmental advocacy might not find direct mail delivery to be their best bet for promotions. The huge waste generated by the practice of sending bulk mail is a concern to many. Several million trees are cut down yearly to satisfy the demands of bulk mailers in the United States alone. By any estimation, the direct mail delivery industry is one of the biggest contributors to paper waste not only in the United States, but also in the entire world. It can be also quite disconcerting to many how much waste paper generated by all sorts of bulk mail does not end up being properly recycled.
