Mike Richmond, Chief Revenue Officer (Carriers) at Doddle shares his thoughts on the challenges of the Universal Service Obligation and the importance of parcel consolidation for postal operators.

It partly feels like a custom from a different era – it’s frankly incredible that many of the practices of 100+ years ago still work to deliver us mail today. And yet, the universal service obligation still seems a fundamental part of the identity of a post.

To Regulate or Not to Regulate?
As power changes hands in Washington, some change in federal policy toward sustainability is also expected, and that might involve packaging, especially plastics.
Jan 27th, 2021 As I type this on January 20th, President Biden is being sworn into office after a tumultuous few months of politics. What that will mean to we who labor in the packaging arena isn’t entirely clear, but it’s probably a safe bet that we’ll see a tilt toward more regulation aimed at protecting the environment. And since consumers have long viewed packaging waste, particularly plastic, as an environmental villain, we should probably expect a renewed interest in some form of regulation seeking to address packaging waste.
