We’re on a mission to help you reuse cardboard boxes before they’re recycled, simply because it’s better for the planet.
Together, we can shape a better future for people and planet as we strive to promote collaboration and packaging circularity.

The Problem with cardboard
Our Reuse Model challenges the status quo of how cardboard is produced, handled and disposed of. Unfortunately, most cardboard boxes are used only once before being sent for recycling. Cardboard can’t be recycled infinitely and the process itself is environmentally harmful.Â
The most dangerous phrase in the language is ‘we’ve always done it this way'

The Solution - Reuse!
At Reuseabox we’re determined to prove that cardboard is not single use packaging.
We rescue cardboard boxes destined for the waste stream and put them back into the supply chain for a second use. Following Circular Economy principles, we help companies reduce waste, keep cardboard in use for longer and regenerate the natural environment.

Reuse vs Recycling
We wanted to find out how much better it is to reuse rather than recycle a cardboard box.
With the support of the Greater Lincolnshire Productivity Programme, we worked with independent environmental consultants and Dr Lan Qie from the University of Lincoln. The team studied the environmental impact of reuse over recycling and came back with some impressive statistics!

The Reuseabox Environmental Calculator Tool
The team were able to create the first ever environmental calculator tool that compares cardboard reuse to recycling.
We provide environmental reports to help you quantify your environmental savings from cardboard reuse.

reforestation
Globally, less than 2% of all philanthropic giving goes to environmental causes. Each year, we cut down a staggering 15 billion trees a year, that’s 42 million trees a day! This rate of deforestation has devastating consequences for biodiversity and climate stability.
At Reuseabox we believe in using business as a force for good. That’s why we donate to projects that are helping to restore and protect forests, enabling lasting impact for biodiversity and local communities.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015. They act as the world’s to-do list to achieve a better and more sustainable future by 2030.
These are the main SDGs that Reuseabox contributes to:
8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth
We stand for fair, safe and healthy working conditions for everyone working for Reuseabox both directly and indirectly across our supply chain.
12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
Reducing waste to protect and preserve the environment is at the heart of our business model.
13 – Climate Action
We help companies reduce their scope 3 emissions by diverting their used cardboard boxes to reuse. This reduces the demand for new packaging and preserves natural resources. We also plant new trees to help reforest the Earth and prevent biodiversity loss.
15 – Life on Land
Our Reuse Model helps reduce deforestation by reducing the global demand for cardboard boxes. Our commitment to planting trees helps to reduce land desertification and halt biodiversity loss.
