Eco Super Heros: Moving Boxes Man and Boxy of GoGreenMovingBoxes.com Prevent Box Abuse and Promote Box Reuse

Enter Boxy and Moving Boxes Man! Part human, part box, these "cardborgs" have built a website that offers gently-used shipping boxes sold in moving kits and stacks with 1-3 day free delivery nationwide.

They've joined the Used Cardboard Boxes, Inc network which has revolutionized the moving boxes and shipping boxes industries. It supplies the highest quality used boxes for moving, packing, shipping, and storage to both consumers and businesses. No more "dumpster diving" or "box begging" just to get abused boxes that may be damaged or unsanitary. No more cutting down trees to make brand new boxes every time a box is used only once.

All boxes sold at GoGreenMovingBoxes.com come from the Used Cardboard Boxes, Inc. supply chain which works as follows:

• a new box is created by any given box manufacturing company
• the box is purchased and gently used once to ship packaged parts or products from a supplier to a manufacturer or distributor
• after the part or product has been unpacked, the box is gently flattened and stacked on a pallet
• when the pallet is fully stacked, it's either loaded on a truck to another supplier or distributor that purchased boxes wholesale or,
• the boxes are sorted into moving boxes sizes and packed into moving kits, which can be ordered online
• the moving kits are picked up by a UPS truck and delivered for free anywhere in the continental U.S. to retail customers

This new model for box reuse makes it possible for eco and cost-conscious consumers and companies to have a viable alternative to the agonizing price of new boxes and the anxiety of trying to scrounge used boxes from grocery stores or classified ads.

This process is environmental education in action and promoted through several “eco-edu-mercials” posted on the GoGreenMovingBoxes.com YouTube channel. There you'll find fun and informative videos that help educate consumers about the reality behind the cardboard industry.

Recycling is a feel-good word as it should be, but what's often forgotten is that a lot of what's recycled can and should be re-used. Recycling is costly, a source of pollution, and requires water, energy, fuel, chemicals, and other inputs.

Here are a few stats to put the cardboard industry into perspective

• The EPA reports that the US commercial sector generates more cardboard than any other material in the nation.

• Over $40 billion in cardboard boxes are produced in the U.S. each year.

• The EPA estimates that 14% of all municipal solid waste is made of cardboard containers.

• Approximately 43 million Americans move each year.

When you look at all the numbers, it's quite tragic what happens with used boxes. If you ever take a look at a recycling drop-off center, you'll see two-story high mountains of boxes being bulldozed into bailers so they can be sold and shipped off to other countries to package more commodities that will be shipped back in boxes for the process to repeat again.

The typical shortened life-cycle of a box means dropping a box’s value from dollars to pennies. With GoGreenMovingBoxes.com and the Used Cardboard Boxes, Inc network, the value of the box is sustained. This allows cycles of reuse to occur and reoccur within the U.S. thus saving the nation's trees, sustaining jobs, and providing consumers and companies with a green low-cost alternative to new boxes.

Let’s embark on a little thought experiment. Imagine every used car for sale in lots and driveways all across the country. Now take all of those used cars and smash them to pieces so they can be sold as scrap metal. It would be an atrocity!

When a new car is purchased, the common sense consumer knows they must treat it well and maintain it so when they're done using it, its value is retained and it can be sold again not as scrap, but as a reusable car.

Why doesn't this common sense apply to cardboard boxes? Until the dawn of modern "green" consciousness we had little to no regard for the ecological and economic value of trees. Now that green consciousness and the green economy are on the rise, it's time for used boxes to be valued by the same logic as a used car.

Now that the national infrastructure is in place, it's easy to buy and even sell used boxes.

At GoGreenMovingBoxes.com, not only can you buy used boxes for moving, you can buy them by in truckload quantities for shipping, or if you're a company that has pallets of reusable boxes you'd like to sell for more than you'd get at the recycler, you can enter your box dimensions, quantity, and location and be promptly contacted by a purchasing agent.

By rescuing and reselling quality used boxes, GoGreenMovingBoxes.com is truly super-heroic for every tree and for the both moving and shipping industries.
