About Fifth Express


Materials

  • Plant-based materials made of corn
  • Cassava

Eco Benefits of the Materials

  • The plant-based mailers are certified compostable.
  • They will break down in 6 months without leaving toxic residues in the environment.(On the other hand, standard plastic mailers may take up to 10 years or more).
  • Cassava bags are 100% biodegradable. They dissolve in water, degrade in landfill, and decompose. They are non-toxic and contain no palm oil.

Process

  • The Fifth Express delivers parcels to clients in compostable packaging instead of plastic.
  • The company uses e-waybill to lessen the use of paper.
  • The company delivers mailers in advance for a minimum order quantity to lessen the carbon footprints emitted by delivering the mailers from time to time.

Sustainability Programs

  • Fifth Express partnered with Haribon Foundation in 2021 by donating a portion of its sales to support the foundation’s environmental projects.
  • Fifth Express participates in environmental events, the latest was Net Zero-Carbon  Events Philippines which was organized by the European Chamber of Commerce in 2022.
  • Fifth Express prides itself on supporting the eco-warriors in the business industry by giving special discounts to entities with the same advocacy.
