Suggestions on green packing materials?

Everyday we use a lot of Styrofoam boxes for packing. Some customers have no use for them afterward and they are wasted and end up in the trash can. I want to know if there is a greener and more economical packing material available with at least the same insulation and protective functions. (Suitable for storing fish.) Thanks.

I would suggest something reusable - cheap coolers for instance, maybe even with your logo on them? You could try & enforce a packaging charge if someone preffered the disposable packing. (Like some supermarkets/retailers now do.) You could additionally have a basic initial charge for the coolers, but it might appeal to your regulars as a means of avoiding being charged for the disposable ones. I'd ask a few of your regular customers how they felt about the idea & gauge the response.

I'm not sure there is a more economical greener way of packaging, but what about using packaging that can be used more than once.  Offer your clients an incentive to return the packaging and receive discounts on future orders.
