Do you have any plans to also handle pickup of compost? The people who want zero-waste might also be interested in composting their odds and ends, but I imagine most NYCers have no place to put compost they generate. You could collect it during each delivery and then sell it to local farmers, who use it to grow the products people buy. Call it "the green circle" or something. Make your logo a green circle with a leaf in it. Diversifies the business model, provides more reason for people to sign up.

Now that I think of it more, this is kind of a fortuitous combo. If you get goods in cardboard, keep the cardboard for composting. Keep the compost outside in a dumpster or bins, keep your goods inside in a building. Pay a kid medium wage to cut up the cardboard and mix the compost bins. When it's ready, sell it as a green alternative to chemical fertilizers.

I composted for years in NYC and the City has many dropoff sites available.

The department of sanitation is expanding composting to the entire city by 2024. https://www.nyc.gov/assets/dsny/site/services/food-scraps-an...
