Body Body Goes Green

Environmentally Friendly Paperless Order Processing Also Increases Efficiency

Ranowear, Inc., owner of online retailer, BodyBody.com, announced today that all its websites are converting to nearly 100% paperless order processing and customer communications. The innovation is expected not only to be environmentally friendly and help save precious resources, it will also actually help speed the order flow and smooth the way for a more satisfactory customer experience.

Ranowear’s changes implement the following recommendations from Discovery’s Tree Hugger website: “It does seem a bit strange that in the "digital age" we still consume enormous amounts of mashed up, bleached tree pulp, most of which gets used once or twice and then tossed or recycled. The greenest paper is no paper at all, so keep things digital and dematerialized whenever possible. The more you do online, the less you need paper. Keep files on computers instead of in file cabinets (this also makes it easier to make offsite backup copies or take them with you when you move to a new office). Review documents onscreen rather than printing them out. Send emails instead of paper letters. New software like Greenprint helps eliminate blank pages from documents before printing and can also convert to PDF for paperless document sharing.” Green business is always good business. Sustainability presents opportunities to innovate business techniques, implement high value processes and the wise use of human capital and technology and realize benefits by tackling business-related energy, emissions, natural resource and waste issues.

Specifically for the shopper the changes mean that unnecessary paperwork will be eliminated from shipping packages. BodyBody.com will not include advertising and special offer flyers. Advertising will be limited to internet campaigns and opt in e-mail notices. Also Return/Exchange forms will no longer be included in paper form. Rather they will be downloadable in .pdf form at http://bodybody.com/reandex.html. Customer can print out these forms and include them with their return. Environmentally conscious consumers can opt to send a return form to Body Body’s Customer Service at jennifer@bodybody.com and include only their name, address and order no. in the return package.

“The advent and the development of the internet has set the stage for an entirely new approach to the way companies keep records and handle both internal and external communications.” states Ranowear President and CEO, Willis Domingo, “Body Body’s Green Campaign represents no more than an attempt to do our part. Sexy panties and thong bikinis have joined the Green Revolution!”
