Material Resources

FedEx works with its suppliers and contractors to understand the environmental impacts of the materials we use throughout our business and then works to reduce those impacts.

Packaging
For more than a decade, FedEx has worked to minimize the environmental impact of our packaging wherever possible by using recycled content and maximizing recyclability. FedEx offers a legal-sized reusable envelope that uses dual tear strips to extend the usefulness of the product while cutting waste. Today, the majority of FedEx packaging is made from recycled materials and can be recycled.
