Packfleet and Who Gives A Crap ship over nine million loo rolls with a saving of over 54,000kg of carbon
Packfleet and Who Gives A Crap are laying claim to the end of crappy deliveries for Londoners, with over nine million toilet rolls delivered across the capital.
The latter is also saving approximately 54,500kg of carbon emissions thanks to Packfleet’s all electric fleet.
This is set to continue to increase, with Packfleet on course to ship over 10 million rolls by the end of 2024.
From working with the company alone, Who Gives A Crap is set to reduce the total carbon emitted by its UK-EU region by 0.6%. To mark the new partnership, the team recently became Packfleet delivery drivers for the day. Londoners were treated to free cupcakes alongside their toilet roll, with furry friends being offered branded dog biscuits.
Tristan Thomas, CEO at Packfleet, says: “We’ve achieved a lot in the short time Packfleet has been working with Who Gives A Crap, with both customers and the environment seeing the upshot.”
“Our close relationship with the Who Gives A Crap team has allowed us to do some amazing work, including letting them experience what it’s like to be a Packfleet driver first hand. Whilst we can’t promise to deliver toilet rolls directly to the bathroom door, we are confident we can maintain the high standard we’ve achieved and continue to put a stop to crappy deliveries.”
Phillipa Taylor, Head of European Supply Chain at Who Gives A Crap, says: “We chose to work with Packfleet due to their carbon neutral deliveries, tech platform and customer focus. Deliver and Delight is one of our core values at Who Gives A Crap.”
“Packfleet have consistently lived up to this, with reliable and excellent service, week in, week out - driving down our customer tickets. The team continually comes to the table with proactive ideas and opportunities on how we can further improve our customer experience. Surprising our customers on delivery day was a real highlight for us.”
“We couldn’t have done this without Packfleet’s trust and cooperation. They have been great to work with and have enabled us to get closer to our customer experience.”
