FedEx Express Envelope, made from 100 per cent recycled content, is getting another environmentally-friendly boost.

FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp, is launching a carbon-neutral shipping programme for its most widely used packaging solution for document shipping at no extra charge to the customer, the company said.

FedEx Express will make an investment in projects around the world that displace or sequester greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere. The initiative is recognised as part of EarthSmart®, FedEx sustainability programme.

Through the carbon-neutral FedEx Envelope shipping programme, FedEx will calculate on an annual basis the tonnes of carbon dioxide released through the shipment of all global FedEx Express envelopes.
