"Isn't cardboard more sustainable than plastic though?"

Since the 1960s, we’ve been moving using single-use materials like cardboard boxes. But they actually aren’t biodegradable, and they release toxic chemicals that take a toll on the environment.

  • 900mmcardboard boxes are used in the US for moving each year
  • 30mmrolls of tape are used in the US for moving each year
  • 30%of cardboard heads to the landfill instead of being recycled

Why our customers choose crates over cardboard

This was such a seamless process to use for moving and I love that I didn’t have to contribute to waste by using cardboard boxes. Thank you, Rentacrate for providing such a wonderful service!

Love and highly recommend this super simple, sustainable moving option. Hope we'll never have to move again, but if we do, Rentacrate will be our first call.
