A SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING SYSTEM

Here at Green Box we understand the importance of working in a sustainable manner and being ecologically responsible. One of the main ways we can care for the environment is by joining a circular economic model that reduces the impact that our activities have on our environment.

ECOLOGICAL COMMITMENT

Our products are designed to be robust and long-lasting, without any incidents during transportation. They are easy to repair and reuse, and can be dismantled and made into other products.

Green Box has obtained the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), according to The International EPD System (Sweden) and in accordance with the ISO 14025 standard.

Reduce

Our products are light-weight and efficient, reducing the transportation costs and the likelihood of anything happening to the products.

REUSE

Thanks to the quality of the materials and the manufacturing process used, the product’s useful life is extended, and the products can be reused over and over again.

RECYCLE

The materials that we use are recycled, recyclable or come from certified sustainable sources.

ORIGIN OF RAW MATERIALS

All of the materials used to make the Green Box are recycled, recyclable or come from certified sustainable sources.

Polypropylene pallet, 100% recycled.
Wood from plantations with PEFC certificate.
Cardboard manufactured using recycled paper.

AMOUNT OF RAW MATERIAL CONSUMED

The amount of raw materials used in the packaging is considerably reduced in comparison with other traditional solutions.

REDUCTION OF WASTE IN TRANSPORTED PRODUCTS

Due to its robust nature and resistance during transportation, the number of products which are damaged is considerably less than when using traditional solutions. When using traditional systems up to 30% of the transported products may be damaged; whereas with GB, this percentage is close to zero.

SAVINGS IN TRANSPORTATION/ LOGISTICS

Green Box offers the most favourable tare/useful load ratio on the market. By simplifying the packaging and palleting task (without using lower and intermediate pallets) it is possible to save 10% of transportation needs thus reducing the environmental impact.

The vertical ventilation system helps to maintain the products at an ideal temperature, thus reducing energy expenses.

SAVE IN REPLENISHMENTS

The Green Box can also be used as an in-store display container. By doing so the products do not have to be re-packaged and this improves sales and contributes to an improved product rotation as they will be in more visible places.

Less effort will be required while at the same time complying with the Recommendations by the Spanish Association of Manufacturers and Distributors (AECOC) regarding height of loaded pallet units.

RECYCLING USED MATERIAL

Another advantage that these products offer which traditional solutions are unable to, is that used material can be sent back for recycling. While other solutions such as the plastic pool have a return index of 1/3 (1 disassembled lorry is equivalent to 3 assembled), with Green Box the return index is 1/10, considerably reducing the transportation costs for the recycling of used material.
