Making a Difference
At Florida Boxes, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's at the core of everything we do. By extending the life of Gaylord boxes through reuse, repair, and proper recycling, we're helping to reduce waste and conserve natural resources.
Every box we rescue from the waste stream represents trees saved, energy conserved, and a smaller carbon footprint. We're proud to play our part in building a more sustainable packaging industry.
Our Sustainable Practices
How we minimize environmental impact at every step
Box Reuse Program
We carefully inspect, clean, and grade used boxes, giving them a second (or third, or fourth) life. This extends the useful life of each box and reduces demand for new production.
Repair & Refurbishment
Instead of discarding damaged boxes, our skilled team repairs them. We replace worn bottoms, reinforce corners, and restore boxes to usable condition.
Responsible Recycling
When boxes reach the end of their useful life, we ensure they're properly recycled. Our recycling partners use eco-friendly processes to turn old cardboard into new materials.
Efficient Transportation
We optimize delivery routes and consolidate shipments to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Our fleet is regularly maintained for peak efficiency.
Minimal Packaging
We believe in reducing waste at every opportunity. Our operations use minimal packaging materials, and what we do use is recyclable or biodegradable.
Energy Conservation
Our warehouse uses energy-efficient lighting and equipment. We're continuously looking for ways to reduce our energy consumption and carbon footprint.
The Circular Economy of Boxes
Traditional packaging follows a linear model: produce, use, dispose. We believe in a better way—a circular model where boxes are used multiple times before being responsibly recycled.
