Why moving crates

We are protecting the forest

Over its working life a single moving crate can replace up to 450 cardboard boxes. That is about 3 trees per crate that do not need to be felled, and far less paper wasted. See how we work that out.

And the best part: the crate runs a fully circular course. At the end of its life it is completely recycled and returns as raw material for new products, rather than to landfill. Choosing our crates contributes directly:

  • to protecting forests,
  • to less waste,
  • to sustainable growth, for a cleaner and greener tomorrow.

A small link for each of us, and a large change for the future all of us want.

Why is moving with cardboard finished?

Every year, thousands of tonnes of cardboard go to waste after a single use. It tears under weight, soaks up damp, will not stack properly, and in the end you have paid for something you throw away. Rent A Crate rental crates change the terms:

450×

Each crate replaces up to 450 cardboard boxes over its working life. That means less material in landfill, fewer trees cut, and less water and energy spent making them.

100%

Recyclable at the end of its life. It does not go to landfill, it comes back as raw material for new crates. A full circle, with no asterisks.

You are not buying, you are renting. Free delivery, free collection. Use the crates as long as you need them, send them back, done.

Every crate that reaches your door is built for hundreds of moves, and on each one it does the work of cardboard boxes that never need to be made. After you have used it, it is thoroughly sanitised and starts the cycle again: delivery, use, collection, sanitising. Again and again, for hundreds of cycles. This is not simply crate rental. It is a deliberate choice, for you, for your city, for tomorrow.

THE CALCULATION AT A GLANCE

How we arrive at “up to 450”

We compare the volume of crates and cardboard boxes. Then we work out how much a crate can be reused over its whole life.

01 / ON ONE MOVE 1.31

boxes per use,
on average

By volume, for a mix of 20 small crates and 1 jumbo, compared with a large 72-litre cardboard box.

02 / WITH REUSE ≈344

uses of the
same crate

The number of uses this scenario needs to reach a total of about 450 boxes.

03 / OVER ITS WHOLE LIFE ≈450

equivalent cardboard
boxes in total

Estimated potential over its whole working life, on average per crate in the mix.

The calculation: 1.31 boxes per use × about 344 uses ≈ 450 boxes.

What “up to” means in practice

The 450 boxes are a scenario for the crate’s whole life, not counted savings or an average of real results. The calculation is about box-volume equivalence; it does not measure a carbon footprint, which depends on washing, transport and energy. We record the actual uses of every crate in the traceability registry.

Volume comparison from the dimensions
TypeDimensionsVolumeEquivalent
Cardboard box60 × 40 × 30 cm72 litres1 box
Small crate60 × 40 × 37 cm88.8 litres≈1.23 boxes
Jumbo crate116 × 48 × 37 cm≈206 litres≈2.86 boxes

The mix: 20 small crates + 1 jumbo. The average is (20 × 1.23 + 2.86) ÷ 21 ≈ 1.31 boxes per crate per move. Ratios are shown rounded.

Working life: operators in this industry quote up to 400–500 uses per crate. On that assumption, the scenario of about 344 uses gives about 450 equivalent boxes. It is not a guarantee that every crate will reach that total.

Trees: the estimate of 150 boxes per tree is a separate assumption. Volume equivalence and this assumption are not an environmental footprint study.

The circular economy in rental crates

Sustainability, recycling, protecting forests

Rent a Crate — the rental cycle DELIVERY MOVING COLLECTION SANITISING

Delivery

You pick the place and the time, we deliver your crates quickly and without fuss. Forget worn-out cardboard: our crates arrive ready to work, for a comfortable and greener move.

The move

Our crates protect your belongings and cut your environmental footprint. Built to last, they save you time, effort and money, and make the move both easy and greener.

Collection

When you are done, we collect from your new place. The crates carry on their journey, and sustainability costs you no extra effort.

Sanitising & storage

Every crate is thoroughly sanitised before it is used again, which is what makes reuse hygienic and dependable. That commitment is how we support the circular economy.

And we do not just say it. We prove it.

Since August 2026, the circular economy this page describes is not a promise. It is a measurement, public and open to inspection.

Every movement is recorded

Every crate has its own public page, with its history and the cardboard boxes never needed because of it.

Nothing is ever erased

The registry only grows. Each new record binds to the one before it, so no old record can quietly change.

Sealed in public

The registry is sealed daily on Sui mainnet, a public blockchain. Nobody can rewrite yesterday. Not even us.
