In May 2007 Natural Collection launched the ‘RE-BOX’ initiative.
Our
mission was to send out orders using discarded boxes and packaging
collected from local businesses. Estimated impact? Our purchases of
recycled cardboard boxes were reduced by 75%!!!

Please support the initiative and vote for it in this years 'ethical awards'.
Thanks
This is a fabulous idea - well done you. I hope you get recognised in the 'Ethical Awards' for it - you can definitely count on my vote!
If more businesses took this approach, the savings on the environment (not to mention to common sense business savings to the bank balance) could be massive.
This is something I have been doing myself for years, when I sell un-needed things on eBay. I always send out in pre-used packaging and have never had any complaints. As long as the goods arrive in pristine condition; does it really matter if the packaging has been used before?
Any packaging that comes through our door is carefully opened, stored and re-used. (My 7 year old daughter has the hang of this better than my husband :D) It's amazing how huge a stash you can save up in a short period of time. I can't remember the last time I bought new packaging :)
Love and light,
