FULL CASE
Challenge
A regional logistics company serving business clients along fixed delivery routes relied heavily on disposable cardboard boxes. Each shipment generated paper waste that clients had to handle, and the logistics center faced growing disposal fees. Rising cardboard prices further squeezed margins.
Solution
The company transitioned to reusable transport boxes for their recurring deliveries. Durable, stackable boxes were integrated into their workflow. Empty boxes were collected on return trips, making reuse seamless.
Results
- Cost Savings: 67% reduction in packaging expenses over 12 months
- Waste Reduction: Eliminated 62 tons of cardboard waste annually
- Efficiency Boost: Clients no longer had to manage box disposal, saving handling time and costs
- Smoother Operations: Reusable boxes were easier to stack and reduced damage during transport. Employees got to like to work with them more.
🙋♂️ “While I was skeptical at the start, ultimately, switching to reusable boxes was a game-changer. We cut costs, simplified operations, and our clients appreciated not having to deal with cardboard waste anymore.” – Operations Manager
