Boxed Joins the Effort to Cut Waste with First Ongoing Recycling Program in the US on a Retailer’s platform
30 Agosto 2022 - 2:00PM
Boxed, Inc. (NYSE: BOXD, BOXD WS) the commerce technology company
specializing as both an e-commerce retailer and e-commerce enabler,
has partnered with international recycling leader TerraCycle, to
give customers a way to recycle where they shop. Through the
partnership, sponsored by Procter & Gamble, Boxed customers can
recycle any brand of home essentials and personal care products.
“Boxed has always prioritized recycling and
reducing waste,” said Alison Weick, President, eCommerce at Boxed.
“By partnering with TerraCycle, we can now amplify our recycling
efforts by offering our customers a free solution to properly
dispose of hard-to-recycle materials.”
Participation in the Boxed Ongoing Recycling
Program is simple. Boxed customers can mail in waste using the
prepaid shipping label available in one click at
https://www.boxed.com/terracycle. Once collected, the packaging is
cleaned, separated by material composition, and reduced to pellets
that can be remolded to make new recycled products.
This is yet another step in Boxed’s commitment to
sustainable practices. Previously, the ESG-focused retailer
partnered with TemperPack to introduce sustainable packaging for
home delivery of chocolates and other desserts. Boxed also
participated in Canaccord Genuity eCommerce Sustainable Advantage
Virtual Forum this March to discuss sustainable practices.
“With the launch of this first-of-its-kind national
recycling initiative, Boxed is providing consumers with the unique
opportunity to responsibly recycle their packaging and divert waste
from landfills,” said TerraCycle CEO and Founder, Tom Szaky.
“Consumers everywhere can now conveniently buy their necessities in
bulk, but not at the expense of the planet.”
Any interested individual, school, office, or
community organization with a Boxed account can participate in the
Boxed Recycling Program.
