Sustainability is no longer just a nice-to-have - it's what your customers expect.
At Box Depot, we've built a range of eco-friendly ecommerce packaging that lets your business ship your orders sustainably without compromising on protection, practicality, or cost.
For businesses pursuing B Corp certification or working towards Net Zero targets, switching to eco-friendly ecommerce packaging is a practical, reportable improvement to your Scope 3 emissions profile.
Sustainable packaging can be hugely beneficial to your business!
Eco-Friendly
Every product you find here has impeccable eco-friendly credentials! We check with our suppliers and even test these products ourselves to ensure that not only are they as protective as their non-eco counterparts (they’re often more!) but they are recycled, recyclable and as sustainable as possible.
Space-Saving
An unexpected advantage of eco-friendly packaging is that it often needs a lot less space to store, especially for voidfill products: If you consider how bulky a roll of bubble wrap is, you could have the same protection using honeycomb paper that needs a fraction of that space!
Cost-Effective
It used to be thought that choosing eco-friendly and sustainable products meant that they were more expensive. This is no longer true – Box Depot are committed to sourcing products that are not just kind to the planet, but kind to your wallet as well!
Make a Difference
Sustainability isn’t just about buying eco-friendly packaging – you can also make a difference yourself! A Cardboard Shredder will dramatically reduce the waste cardboard you dispose of to create highly protective voidfill. And a Strapping Chopper not only removes the potential trip hazard of loose waste pallet strapping, but chops it into manageable pieces all ready for recycling!
Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need additional information about packing your belongings with eco-friendly packaging?
The concept of eco-friendly and sustainable packaging only became a reality at the end of the 20th Century. But in the 25 years of this Century, there is now an urgent need for us to reduce, reuse and recycle wherever possible. Some packaging solutions, like using pre-loved cardboard boxes, are obvious. Other solutions are through constantly evolving manufacturing techniques. Every single eco-friendly packaging solution found at Box Depot has been thoroughly tested and evaluated to ensure, firstly, that it is indeed just as protective as its traditional alternative. And secondly that it is as sustainable as possible.
Adopting sustainable packaging not only aligns with corporate social responsibility but also resonates with consumers. Businesses that embrace sustainability often enjoy enhanced brand reputation, increased customer loyalty and a competitive edge in the market.
Not at all! In fact, our pre-loved cardboard boxes are substantially cheaper than brand new boxes! A big factor in the products that Box Depot offers is affordability. We believe that just because you choose sustainable packaging it shouldn’t cost the earth … and that includes your bank balance! In addition, reduced waste disposal fees, savings in raw material costs and improved brand image contribute to the overall cost effectiveness. The initial investment in our sustainable warehouse equipment might seem high, but leasing options available for these machines can spread the cost.
