Rent-a-Green box is the first zero-waste pack and move solution in the U.S. Their main goal is to protect the environment and provide easy packing solutions for relocating business and residences. The currently serve Los Angeles County, Long Beach and Orange County, but there are hints around the website that they may be coming to other well-known greener cities.

How it works:

This is not a moving company, but a company who will bring you recopacks, i.e. lime green boxes made from recycled plastic (instead of cardboard) for your next move. They deliver their green recopacks direct to your door then pick them up when you’re done moving in. They rent their recopacks on a weekly basis. You pack, stack and move the boxes. The major benefit is that you get a waste-free move.

The recopacks:

These reusable boxes are a sustainable, cradle to cradle, zero waste- 100% recycled product. They’re designed and engineered to last for up to 400 round trip applications. This means if you need them for industrial use, they’re good to go. The boxes have the additional perk of easy stacking. Recopacks are offered in three sizes.

Other eco-perks of Rent-a-Green box:

• They offer lots of moving supply extras that are eco-friendly and made with 100% recycled, post consumer, end of life trash. (i.e. alternatives to new and used cardboard boxes, petroleum based bubble wrap and Styrofoam packing peanuts.)
• The company uses a fleet of eco-trucks powered by waste vegetable oil and bio-fuel to deliver their recopacks.
