about
Sustainability Meets Savings
A better box solution
Who
Since 2006, our passion has been creating profit by reducing waste, leveraging technology to make reuse accessible and easy.
What
We buy used gaylord totes and used shipping boxes from large companies for premiums above recycling rebates. We inspect, sort, separate, palletize, inventory, and resell them for cheaper than the cost of buying new.
Why
Because the world deserves a smarter solution than immediately recycling the over 70 million tons of cardboard packaging manufactured annually after just 1 use - one that benefits the planet, its people, and the bottom line.
about
UsedCardboardBoxes, founded in 2006, is the largest processor of USED gaylord totes, produce totes, resin/octo-bins and shipping boxes in North America. We pay more than recycling rates because we don’t recycle!
We REUSE, RESELL and RETURN them, as boxes, right here in the US. USED totes are sold to major retailers for reverse logistics, or to large scrap processors (metal, plastic, paper, etc.) to sort/transport commodities. USED shipping boxes are sold to major retailers for distribution from DC to store and many are used to create UCB’s eco-friendly moving kits, sold online. As a closed-loop RETURN program, gaylords or boxes can be sorted, inspected, palletized, inventoried and RETURNED back to the original vendor for reuse, saving everyone time, money, and trees.
about
Core Values
Built on values, powered by people
Reliability
We do what we are supposed to do, when we are supposed to do it, or we communicate otherwise in advance.
Transparent Integrity
Mistakes happen, but when we mess up, we fess up...openly and honestly.
Innovation
We proactively seek new information and perspective so we can apply it to our current and future marketplace, thus continuing to always pioneer.
Bold, Relentless Passion
We are confident in our abilities and proactively seek opportunities to create synergies with suppliers, customers, partners, and employees. We know that rarely the first attempt is successful, and we are not afraid to try countless times if we believe value can be created.
Sustainable SustainabilityTM
We believe in sustainability programs that last. We focus on financial results, in addition to environmental.
