Why Reuse Boxes?
Many businesses receive goods in boxes and ship goods out in boxes. Reusing sound inbound boxes for outbound shipments or internal moves avoids buying new boxes and reduces what goes to recycling.
Five Steps to Get Started
- Look at what boxes you receive and which sizes you ship most.
- Set a simple rule for which boxes to keep: clean, dry, sound, in useful sizes.
- Open inbound boxes carefully, cutting tape on the seam rather than tearing flaps.
- Give reusable boxes a dry, organized storage spot, sorted by size.
- Recycle boxes that do not meet the rule, and sell surplus you cannot use.
Make It Easy for Staff
Label storage locations by size, put a box cutter and label-removal supplies at the receiving station, and make recycling bins just as easy to reach. A program that fits the work flow lasts.
Watch the Details
Remove or fully cover old labels and barcodes before shipping a reused box, and check that the box suits the weight of the new contents.
