No, online shops don’t sell air. But why do they pack so much air? Webshops in the United Kingdom send more than 14 million parcels a day. Active Ants UK contributes to this with some few thousands of packages a day.

Active Ants’ fulfilment centre in the United Kingdom has been confirmed for an A+ sustainability rating by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This is thanks to its 988 solar panels, rainwater reuse and smart lighting systems.
