There are many environmental benefits of cardboard packing boxes as opposed to alternative materials, such as plastic containers. The main being because they are all one hundred percent recyclable, and so they can be re used again and again without causing wastage, where as plastic cannot be recycled in most cases and this is very bad for the environment. Cardboard can be recycled and re used for many other purposes other than boxes too, so it is almost a guarantee that they can be recycled for something useful to somebody.
Cardboard packing boxes for moving house- never throw them away always recycle
- If you simply throw them away, they will be more harm to the environment than anything else
- Always put them in a correct recycling bin, which you can find near supermarkets for example
- You could list them for re use on sites such as gumtree in the UK, where people can simply re use them if they are in good enough condition
- Packing cardboard boxes are mainly bought online brand new, so why not offer them up to online retailers of packaging who can re distribute them
Boxes for house moving can be used for the house move, and then flat packed up and stored away, without taking up much space. You can then re use them when you may need them, or if a friend may need them too you could lend it to them. You could re use boxes for storage purposes, because you may want to keep something away in the attic or garage and they will be perfect for this purpose. You could also re use them to make things for your children to play with, for example you could make a children’s play house out of them, and paint them and make holes for windows too. Always ensure that the boxes you buy are recyclable too, which you can confirm with the retailer. Here at Packing Solution we ensure that all of ours are recyclable, and we work closely with a local recycling company here in Somerset too, so we do everything we can to look after the environment. Because we send our boxes flat packed, this makes transportation easier as well, which in turn looks after the environment because it reduces emissions as it allows more thing to fit in the van alongside the boxes.
