Second Life for Boxes: Reducing Waste
Environmental responsibility isn't just a goal—it's our guiding principle. That's why we've partnered with FlossAid in San Jose, CA to source our wholesale boxes. We've rescued them from the recycling bin, repurposing like-new boxes that would have otherwise been discarded. By giving these boxes a second life, we're actively reducing waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
