Electronic waste is the result of planned obsolescence design by many manufacturers and a society eager to have the latest and greatest computer, cell phone,

television or other electronic device. Eventually all of these items require replacement but what happens to the old one that is being replaced?
Full Loop Responsibility
Gradually manufacturing companies see the benefit of assuming the responsibility that most people believe is rightfully theirs. Whether companies are motivated by profit, conscious, industry pressure or even local or regional laws, there is an undeniable trend to take back a product that they created and sold when it finally reaches the end of its life cycle or when the consumer simply wants to update.
Staying Connected to the Consumer
We can debate cost versus profit of recycling or the relative marketing and profit value of being a green company but what many companies are now realizing is that reclaiming and recycling is an excellent way to keep a customer.
If the manufacturer of your cell phone was willing to send you a replacement or the latest model in a Globe Guard Reusable Box and allowed you to send back your old, broken or outdated device for proper disposal or recycling, would you be more likely to buy another one of their products? What about your toaster, lap top or computer monitor? The trend is growing and we believe reusable packaging will make it easier and less costly to return these often replaced products.
The Perfect Roundtrip Shipping Container
There are other products such as plastic totes that are capable of multiple trips but using them for uncertain return is usually cost prohibitive. I recently discovered that shipping companies such as FedEx and UPS will impose an additional charge for any container that is not a corrugated box. They routinely accept anything such as wooden crates, plastic totes and metal drums but they do charge dearly for handling them. They prefer for their own processing efficiencies, the good, old fashion, corrugated shipping box.
The Globe Guard® Reusable Box is designed for multiple shipments and features the ability to turn it inside out for its second use and trip. We can easily print the inside of the box as well so that the return can be processed quickly and at the lowest possible cost.
One Box Fits Your Application – Twice!
We believe that eventually the Globe Guard Reusable Box will be a stock item in many sizes but for now each one is custom made to satisfy a specific customer’s need. That does not necessarily result in high cost, but it does produce satisfied needs and requirements.
Bring us your unusual application and we can probably build the right shipper for you in almost any grade and size, as well as with custom printing. We help companies make their packaging greener and the Globe Guard Reusable Box is one of the many ways we do it.
E-Waste Belongs in a Globe Guard Reusable Box, NOT a Landfill
