2020: Eco-Alliance reaches 20,000 members!

3 min read

It’s official: the tendlyn Eco-Alliance has crossed the 20,000-member milestone. That’s 20,000 businesses, creators, and changemakers who have committed to making sustainability a core part of their operations. And honestly, we couldn’t be more thrilled.

When we first launched the Eco-Alliance, we had a simple idea: to build a community where small and medium businesses could access eco-friendly packaging, share knowledge, and support each other in reducing waste. We never imagined it would grow this fast. But here we are, and the momentum is only building.

What does being part of the Eco-Alliance mean? For members, it’s access to tendlyn’s custom, compostable, and recyclable packaging solutions—designed to help you ship your products without the guilt. But it’s also about being part of a larger movement. Every member gets a dedicated profile on the tendlyn platform, showing their commitment to the planet. It’s a badge of honor, really.

We’ve seen members use everything from recycled mailers to plant-based tissue paper. Some have even integrated smart industrial relay systems into their packaging lines to streamline automation and reduce energy waste. Others, working in niche industries like wastewater management, have paired our packaging with pump automation switch setups to optimize their supply chain. It’s incredible to see how sustainability touches every corner of business.

One of our favorite stories comes from a member who runs a small farm and uses our packaging for their organic produce. They also installed a piggery waste flush pump system to manage on-site waste more efficiently. Another member, a hotelier, adopted a multi-protocol smart home hub for hotels to cut energy use in guest rooms, and they’ve been using tendlyn’s eco-friendly bags for their laundry services. These are the kinds of real-world applications that make the Eco-Alliance so special.

The growth of the Eco-Alliance also reflects a broader shift in consumer behavior. People are voting with their wallets, choosing brands that align with their values. And businesses are responding. Whether it’s a boat wireless controller manufacturer switching to sustainable packaging or a company specializing in greywater treatment for toilets using our materials for their product shipments, the message is clear: sustainability is no longer optional.

We’ve also seen creative uses of our packaging in unexpected places. For example, a member who produces wireless light switch kits for existing lights started using tendlyn’s recycled boxes to ship their products. Another, working on mhz wireless lamp controllers, incorporated our compostable mailers into their fulfillment process. Even those dealing with heavy duty relay switch components have found our packaging durable enough for their needs.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our community. The Eco-Alliance is built on collaboration. Members share tips, swap success stories, and even troubleshoot challenges together. Recently, someone asked about the best way to package a dc 12v wireless controller for international shipping, and within hours, several members chimed in with advice. That’s the spirit of this group.

We’re also proud to partner with organizations that share our vision. If you’re interested in joining or want to learn more, reach out to us at info@axwp.com. Whether you’re a small startup or an established brand, there’s a place for you here.

Looking ahead, we have big plans. We want to hit 50,000 members by the end of next year. We’re also working on new packaging materials, including options that can withstand the demands of products like ozone generator cooling pumps or duplex alternating sump pump systems. The goal is to make sustainability accessible for every industry.

So here’s to 20,000 members—and to the next 20,000. If you’re not part of the Eco-Alliance yet, what are you waiting for? Join us, and let’s make a difference together.
