As corporations around the globe try and reduce their impact on the environment, industries such as the removals industry are also doing their best to follow suit.
Removal firms, who historically have been known for getting through an awful lot of packaging materials, are actively reusing cardboard boxes and lessening their use of plastic boxes. The rationale behind stopping the use of plastic boxes is that if one breaks, it’s less kind to the environment than if a cardboard box breaks.
Consumers and removal firms often get through many cardboard boxes when organising a house move. As well as being potentially very costly, it is potentially very damaging to the environment if the boxes are then thrown away.
Other industries following suit are the music industry and supermarkets. The music industry always traditionally uses a lot of plastic in CD packaging. Now you’re far more likely to see CDs placed in biodegradable cardboard sleeves or cases in many countries around the world.
You may be familiar with the supermarket “Bag for Life”, well many supermarkets have taken this to heart and now offer them at very reasonable prices such as £0.05p a bag.
Supermarkets like Asda and Tesco are two such giants leading the way.
As well as using biodegradable packaging, bespoke packaging solutions are also a great way to save materials and be kind to the environment.
Bespoke packaging companies offer a packaging solution that takes the size and overall dimensions of your object into account when measuring out the exact packaging that is needed. This is cheaper, effective and far less wasteful than traditional methods.
