Launch of reusable PickPack boxes

Launch of reusable PickPack boxes: an ecological solution for a growing problem

In a world where online commerce is constantly growing, cardboard boxes have become an omnipresent part of our lives. Every day, millions of packages are shipped to Canada, often in cardboard packaging that quickly ends up in the trash or in recycling centers. But did you know that using these cardboard boxes is much more harmful to the environment than you might think?

The cardboard box problem in Canada

Canada is one of the largest consumers of cardboard boxes, mainly due to the rise in online purchases. Every year, millions of tons of cardboard are produced, used, and then discarded. Although cardboard is often seen as an eco-friendly option due to its ability to be recycled, it presents several environmental challenges.

The environmental costs of cardboard

1. Causes the deforestation of our natural resources.

2. Energy-intensive manufacturing process.

3. Limited recycling contributing to environmental pollution at the end of life.

Reusable boxes: a sustainable alternative

That's where PickPack reusable boxes come in. Faced with the growing ecological impact of cardboard boxes, we are proud to launch an innovative solution: reusable boxes that can be used several times, thus reducing our dependence on single-use cardboard.

Our boxes are designed to withstand the rigors of transport while being lightweight and easy to use. Here's why they're a better alternative:

1. Waste reduction: Unlike single-use cardboard boxes, reusable boxes can be used up to 20 times before needing to be replaced. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the amount of waste produced by the e-commerce industry.

2. Circular economy: By adopting a model based on reuse, we contribute to the establishment of a circular economy where resources are maximized and waste minimized. After each use, the boxes are collected, cleaned and prepared for re-shipment, thus extending their lifespan.

3. Fewer CO2 emissions: By reusing a single box several times, you reduce the carbon emissions associated with the production of new boxes. Each reuse means fewer raw materials extracted, less energy consumed, and less pollution.
