Boox Box FAQ

What is Boox?

Boox is the name of our company and the name of one of our products. We are on a mission to eliminate single-use waste by making it easier for you and your customers to participate in an earth-friendly Circular Economy. We provide 100% reusable alternatives to single-use shippers as well as a digital platform for Recommerce.

Why is reuse good for the environment?

Great question! Choosing reusable products significantly reduces the use of raw materials, energy, processing, transportation, and landfill waste created by single-use products. The fancy term for this is Circular Economy. A recent Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) proved that using Boox Boxes reduces environmental impact by 70% over time.

How does a Boox partnership work?

Boox’s services include our proprietary reusable shippers combined with recovery and refurbishing.

  1. Boox supplies reusable shippers to your fulfillment center based on volume of monthly shipments.
  2. You pack and ship your products as you normally would in our reusable shippers.
  3. Customers receive the Boox and are guided through the return process via our digital scan experience to one of thousands of return places.
  4. Once returned to Boox, we process each Boox shipper for reuse or recycling. Undamaged Booxes are stored, refurbished, and sent back into circulation. Booxes that have reached their end of life are responsibly recycled into a raw material that can be used to make more Booxes.
