Gone are the difficult days of driving to the store when you need or want to buy something. Not too long ago, whenever you ran out of anything—toothpaste, underwear, whatever—you didn’t have the luxury of these items magically appearing at your doorstep days (or even hours) later. And while we’re thankful for this choice and convenience that didn’t exist before, we’re less thankful for all the trash it produces.

Sure, retailers may use eco-friendly packaging or recyclable materials with their mailers and boxes. But even that poses some problems. On top of the fact that recycling isn’t nearly as universally helpful as we’re led to believe, even something as innocuous as a cardboard box still requires packing tape or can get contaminated (and thus deemed unrecyclable).

That is where Boox comes in.
