Moving House can be Eco-Friendly too!

Just because you’re moving house doesn’t mean you can’t be sustainable and eco-friendly too!
  • 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.
  • 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!
  • 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 the space!
  • Sustainable Delivery: You are always welcome to call to Box Depot to collect your order, but you can also be reassured that Box Depot will deliver your order as sustainably as possible – the outer packaging of your order is at a minimum fully recyclable, and our couriers use electric vehicles to further reduce Carbon Miles.

Moving House doesn’t have to cost the earth!

You can easily pack your belongings using eco-friendly, sustainable packaging.

FAQ

Got a question about our Eco-Friendly Packaging?

Do you need additional information about packing your belongings with eco-friendly packaging?

Is eco-friendly packaging really better than traditional 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 it’s traditional alternative. And secondly that it is as sustainable as possible.

Is choosing eco-friendly packaging going to be more expensive?

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 wallet!

Are your delivery methods sustainable?

We don’t just deliver our orders sustainably, we also pack them sustainably – all the orders we ship are wrapped in biodegradable plastic (it is rainy Ireland after all!) Box Depot will choose the best method to get your order delivered to you – Fastway and An Post both have a growing EV fleet while Xpect Couriers also have a growing fleet of delivery bicycles!
