Go with eco-friendly green moving boxes, instead of cardboard
Consider that to produce 150 cardboards a tree is cut down. Not to mention that, besides it being a hassle to recycle cardboard boxes after a move, they are easily crushed, torn during transport, or get wet, damaging precious belongings. The BOXit&move green boxes are made of 100% recyclable materials, can be used up to 400 times and are highly durable and secure.
Moreover, you can order them fast and easy with just a few clicks on our website->http://www.boxitandmove.lu/].
Wrap your belongings wisely
If you have a whole stack of newspapers and magazines, put them to good use and wrap non-fragile items before putting them in boxes. Then, you can help protect fragile things like furniture or artwork with towels or blankets. Socks, T-shirts, soft toys make for good gap-fillers. At BOXit&move we also offer a green alternative to the classical bubble wrap, namely a recyclable and antistatic bubble wrap, ideal for protection during transportation.
Optimize, optimize, optimize
Moving to a new house implies a lot of resources, most of them can take a toll on the environment. One of them involves the vehicles being used to transport your belongings. That is why you need to make sure you optimize how you pack your things so that there are as few transports as possible to reduce carbon pollution. BOXit&move green boxes are spacious and can be easily stacked to optimize the space in the car used for moving, so you need a smaller number of transports and also save time and money.
