The new eBay-USPS flat rate shipping boxes - with Cradle to Cradle design

Got my first look at the new environmentally-friendly eBay-USPS co-branded flat rate shipping boxes, at the super-busy USPS booth. The boxes have been designed using easily recyclable materials and are printed with non-toxic inks. And they conform to Cradle to Cradle design specifications. eBay and the USPS have been working with William McDonough, a world-renowned environmentalist and designer to create this packaging (see my blog from a few months ago for more details).

Paul Fagan from the USPS was kind enough to spend a few minutes walking me through the environmental benefits of using the C2C boxes. USPS is justifiably proud of launching these boxes - they're the first package manufacturer in the world to have their products C2C certified.

I'm sure eBay sellers, like many people who are concerned about their individual impact on the environment, will welcome the new eBay-USPS co-branded Cradle to Cradle boxes. I'm definitely planning to use a C2C box when I make my next sale on eBay!
