A Green Solution To Those Pesky Moving Boxes

"Using 100% consumer recycled plastic, each of ZippGo's reusable moving boxes can be used 400 times in turn saving 400 cardboard boxes and 4 trees during its lifetime.

Even better, renting ZippGo boxes is actually cheaper than buying the cardboard alternative. They have recycled, reusable packing supplies and wardrobe boxes available as well. This almost makes me eager to start planning my next move...almost."

Innovation Rules at SB2010

"ZippGo is another of the finalists that really caught my eye. The company provides zero waste moving supplies to consumers and businesses. If you've ever moved, either your home or your office, you know that it can take many boxes. Sure, the cardboard boxes can be reused but after a few reuses they are no longer reliable and end up getting recycled (best-case scenario) or throw in the trash (worst-case scenario). The boxes that ZippGo provides its customers can be reused more than 500 times. Now I know that I'm not going to be moving more than a handful of times in my life so one set of boxes can realistically handle the needs of hundreds of businesses. To make the product even more desirable, the boxes are pre-assembled, don't require tape, and are crush, tear, and waterproof. That's my kind of moving box."
