We reuse packaging for several practical, environmental, and economic reasons:

Reduces Waste

• Diverts from Landfills: Cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, and mailers take up 30% of landfill space. Reusing them keeps waste out of trash piles.
• Fewer New Materials Needed: Every reused box means one less new box produced (saving trees, water, and energy).

Lowers Carbon Footprint

• Manufacturing new packaging creates greenhouse gases. Reusing existing supplies skips:
  ✦ Deforestation (paper production)
  ✦ Plastic pollution (bubble wrap/tape)
  ✦ Transport emissions (shipping virgin materials).

Saves Resources

• Water & Energy: Making one ton of cardboard requires 3,000+ gallons of water. Reusing cuts this demand.
• Oil Dependency: Plastic-based packaging (like poly mailers) relies on fossil fuels.
