Introducing More Trees & Eco Delivery
More Trees and Myprotein have joined forces to offer Eco Delivery. This is a new delivery option customers can choose at checkout, which not only helps to reduce delivery emissions but also contributes towards the reforestation of degraded land.
In addition to over 1.4 million trees planted thanks to Myprotein customers and More Trees, we’re well on the way to reaching our goal of finding the world in a better place than we found it.

What is Eco Delivery?
Eco Delivery is a sustainable delivery service done in collaboration with Royal Mail.
This service differentiates itself by completing the last mile of delivery using low emission methods such as foot, bicycle or electric vehicles, to help reduce the emissions of your delivery.
In addition, through our partnership with More Trees, for every Eco Delivery option you select at checkout, a tree sapling is planted.
What is the benefit of Eco Delivery?
According to the World Economic Forum, emissions from urban last-mile deliveries are set to increase by more than 30% by 2030.
As part of our goal to be net zero by 2040, Myprotein are actively working to reduce the environmental impact of delivery services, with no effect on customer experience.
This is why we’ve optimised our approach to “last-mile” deliveries and ensure a tree is planted for every Eco Delivery selected. Each tree has the potential to capture an estimated 1.5 tonnes CO2 over its lifetime.
Why is Eco Delivery better than standard delivery?
Eco Delivery is comparable to standard delivery with the same swift 2-3 working day delivery, available seven days a week, meaning there's no compromise on the speed of service for your Myprotein haul. Instead, you get all the same benefits and more with that extra feel-good factor by doing something positive for the environment.
Thanks to customers selecting the Eco Delivery option for their orders, we have already planted more than 1.4 million trees since 2021.
How to select Eco Delivery
You can select “Eco Delivery” at checkout. Once you’ve entered your postcode, our system will determine if the delivery option is available in your area. We work with our partners to then intelligently assess the most environmentally friendly delivery route for your order.
Who can utilise Eco Delivery?
If you live in a UK area serviced by Royal Mail last mile delivery service, then Eco Delivery will be available at checkout after you’ve entered your postcode.

The reforestation projects they support globally empower local communities to restore forests, create jobs, protect ecosystems, and help to protect the earth from climate change.
Take home message
As part of our commitment to reach net zero by 2040, it is critical we reduce the carbon emissions of our supply chain, including those associated with our customer deliveries.
And you can help us get there. By selecting the Eco delivery, consolidating your orders, or picking the Click & Collect option, you can help to reduce the emissions of your deliveries.
Through our partnership with More Trees, we can reduce our environmental impact while boosting local communities, leaving the world in a better place than we found it.
