LOCAL BUSINESS HELPS YOU GO GREEN ON YOUR NEXT MOVE
Ecopack Provides Alternative to Cardboard Moving Boxes
DUBLIN, Ohio — One of the first steps in any successful move is finding enough boxes to pack a lifetime’s worth of belongings. Cardboard boxes have long been the standard choice for most residential moves, but their relative high expense coupled with a short life-span has caused many environmentally conscious consumers to look for a better alternative. Two local entrepreneurs recognized this need in Central Ohio, and have introduced a zero-waste moving solution designed to make moving easier and more environmentally friendly.
Founded in 2009 by Central Ohio residents Nick Harpster and Gavin Derryberry, and launched fullscale across the region earlier this year, Ecopack eliminates the need for cardboard boxes by renting reusable plastic moving totes. Ecopack conveniently delivers the fully assembled totes prior to your move and will collect them from your new address after you have had time to unpack. With each tote renting at 25 cents a day, Ecopack is not only easy on the environment but also on your budget. In addition to moving totes, Ecopack offers a full line of packing and moving supplies to help simplify your move, including wardrobe boxes to transport your hanging garments; laundry bags for linens; and custom-fitted dollies which allow for easy moving and stacking of totes.
“Many people are looking for small ways to make their lifestyle more environmentally friendly, but they don’t want to spend a lot of money or make their lives more difficult in the process,” says Harpster. “Plastic moving totes make sense because they’re cost effective for the consumer, they’re better for moving compared to cardboard boxes, and they can be reused hundreds of times.”
Because of their commitment to environmental sustainability and reuse, the founders of Ecopack have also started the “Pack for Shade” program. Through this program, Ecopack donates two percent of its gross annual sales to support the Buckeye Forest Council and its mission to protect Ohio’s native forests and inhabitants. Ecopack (www.ecopackrental.com) was founded in 2009 to provide consumers an eco-friendly
alternative to cardboard moving boxes. Serving all of Central Ohio, Ecopack is committed to providing high quality moving products designed to make moving easier, affordable and more environmentally friendly.
