Moving Boxes and Moving Supplies that are Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

It used to be that when you needed moving boxes you had only a few choices, two of which were to buy or to rent cardboard boxes. After their very limited lifetimes, sometimes just one move, most of the boxes were piled into landfills. Recycling the boxes only addresses half the problem; large numbers of trees were still needlessly cut down and extensively processed to create the cardboard in the first place.

Times have changed, and everyone is more conscious about their impact on the environment. You return bottles for refunds and recycle all that you can. Maybe you try to reduce your tap water usage by collecting rain water in a rain barrel or have a composting bin in the yard. You use the bicycle not just for exercise but also to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Now your next move can be more environmentally friendly when you rent plastic moving boxes.

At ecobox our focus is to:

Reuse – ecobox uses robust plastic moving boxes that are designed to last at least 300 trips. This lets us maximize the use of the plastic while saving many trees from becoming cardboard boxes.
Reduce - using ecobox can reduce the impact of a move in so many ways:
- Reduced cardboard box waste at the dump
- Reduced amount of packing supplies being unwrapped and tossed in the garbage
- Reduced number of trees cut down to be mulched into cardboard boxes that see a very limited number of uses
- Reduced number of ecosystems damaged or even destroyed just to harvest these trees and then move them around for processing and delivery
Recycle - All of ecobox's eco-friendly moving boxes, packing supplies and moving supplies can be either be melted down in water or recycled at the end of their useful life. Our moving boxes will be sent back to the manufacturer to be broken down and repurposed into other plastic materials. There is no reason why any ecobox product should end up in a landfill.

Every rental from ecobox saves time, saves money, reduces waste, saves trees – saves Earth!

Ecobox was the first of its kind in Calgary! We are committed to the reduction of deforestation and waste. The reduction process begins with every single plastic ecobox rented!
