The Challenge
A manufacturer of cleaning products recorded a huge growth in demand for their products. As they increased production, they also generated more used cardboard boxes. Products were delivered into the factory and unpacked, leaving redundant used cardboard boxes and layer pads. These unwanted boxes were baled and sent off for recycling. Unfortunately the manufacturer's waste contractor had reduced their rebate for waste collected and they were no longer receiving any remuneration.
Despite being in a contract with the wast company, the manufacturer wanted to see if there was an alternative to simply baling increasing quantities of used cardboard boxes.
They contacted Reuseabox to see if they could sell their cardboard boxes for reuse.

Our Solution: Choose to Reuse
We discovered that around 80% of the cardboard generated was suitable for reuse. The remaining cardboard could be compacted and sent for recycling with the company’s current waste provider.
The boxes could be sorted and re-palletised at the point of unpack and a stand trailer was provided for additional storage. Once full, we collected the trailer and re-distributed the boxes as low cost, eco-friendly packing boxes. The layer pads were reused by bottling plants and dairies as low cost dividers.
