Our responsibility

Sustainability at PPL

Ecology, sustainability, a better environment – for us these are not empty words. We feel responsible. We are getting better. We are part of it.

What we do for sustainability

  1. We run solar-powered eco pickup boxes

  2. A third of our vans run on electricity

  3. The PPL gigaliner runs on biofuel from renewable sources

  4. Several of our depots are fitted with solar panels

  5. We are fitting the relevant depots with our own wallboxes

We are planting new trees

Together with Lesy ČR we are planting a mixed forest near Ledeč nad Sázavou

Oaks, maples, limes and spruces filter the water for the Švihov water reservoir, produce oxygen and gradually bring back the landscape that stood here before the bark beetle calamity.

How to pack sustainably

Six proven materials that reduce the carbon footprint of shipments, and often their price too. We are gradually introducing them into our operations.

A cardboard box

The classic. Choose a size that closely matches the contents: less air, less filling, cheaper shipping.

A cardboard envelope

100% recyclable. Ideal for books, small electronics or clothing up to 1 kg.

A compostable bag

A replacement for plastic film. It breaks down in home compost within a few months.

Kartofix: corrugated cardboard wool

A light, flexible, fully recyclable filling. It replaces bubble wrap and polystyrene.

Paper wool and bio-flopak

Securing materials from renewable sources. They go in the paper recycling, no sorting and no excuses.

Paper adhesive tape

The only tape you do not have to separate from the box. It is recycled together with it.

A word from the CEO
„The steps we take today can shape our future. We are making the world a better place to live for everyone alike, and every parcel we deliver with a lower footprint is a small part of that change.“
Petr Horák · CEO of PPL CZ

  • Movement for joy: PPL supports children from the Pyšely children's home

    May at PPL was about more than movement – it was about helping, too. 133 colleagues took part in the PPL in Motion challenge and together covered over 31,000 kilometres. We turned every kilometre into tangible help for children who do not have it easy in life.

  • Electric vehicles in city streets: quieter and cleaner delivery

    We are gradually electrifying our fleet in large cities, cutting both emissions and the noise of the last mile.
