​

​

The rapidly growing e-commerce industry delivers approximately  8 million  disposable boxes each day, with a significant negative impact on our environment.

Our solution is simple: integrate reusable boxes into the current delivery system, and use data analytics to suggest smarter bulk purchasing in dense neighborhoods. Customers receive part of the cost savings from switching to reusable boxes via the dashboard, which they can keep or choose to reinvest in their local community, improving the triple bottom line.
