Plastic Containers on the Move

California manufacturer targets traditional cardboard box market.

San Francisco-based ZippGo is making reusable plastic moving boxes from 100 percent recycled content that it says are designed to grab market share from cardboard boxes.

 

The company is led by Ash Sud, who after delivering fresh organic fruits and vegetables for seven years at a Bay Area Web-based organic grocer, has entered the reusable moving box business.

 

In a news release, Sud says ZippGo’s goal is replacing the cardboard box with a reusable moving box made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastic. “ZippGo reusable moving boxes are designed to be reused 500 times,” says the company’s news release.

 

The company also contends that “renting ZippGo reusable moving boxes for a home or office move costs less than the total cost of buying and assembling cardboard boxes.”
