As the conversation surrounding sustainability grows, packaging has become a major focus. In the commercial moving industry, cardboard boxes and other disposable packaging are often used and thrown away, causing a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, if you plan to relocate your business, it is important to consider a commitment to sustainability when choosing a moving company. At CRS Moving & Storage, we have established a green process and do everything possible to reduce your move’s carbon footprint.
Our well-trained team provides one-stop-shop services to prevent excess waste and optimize your relocation’s sustainability. In addition to our eco-friendly approach, we work closely with you to develop a customized plan tailored to your unique needs, taking the stress of the moving process off your shoulders. This way, you focus on your business with the peace of mind that your move is in the right hands.
How Has Commercial Moving and Packaging Evolved?
When you think of moving, you may think of cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, and other paper and plastic materials that cause serious harm to the environment. According to the Pew Research Center, two-thirds of adults in the U.S. think large businesses and corporations are not doing enough to reduce climate change’s effects. Therefore, the packaging moving companies use to relocate business has evolved to include more sustainable practices, materials, and packaging.
Not only are companies making changes to their packaging to be more environmentally conscious, but state and federal governments are deploying and considering legislation that will enforce Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs for printed paper and packaging, which will make the companies putting products on the market responsible for the cost of collection, recycling, treatment, and disposal of the post-consumer product.
Additionally, several senators recently introduced the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act to Congress, which strives to make corporations take responsibility for their pollution and make sustainability goals. These movements have motivated moving companies to use green materials and businesses to hire movers who will make their move as eco-friendly as possible.
How Does CRS Moving & Storage Make the Commercial Packing Process More Sustainable?
At CRS Moving & Storage, we understand the importance of green practices and making commercial moves more sustainable. Therefore, we commit ourselves to providing services and materials that reduce waste, including the following:
- Reusable bins: Instead of cardboard boxes, we use reusable bins, which help us save up to 1,000 trees annually. They also make your move more efficient by eliminating the need to break down and recycle boxes.
- Recycling services: If you have documents, boxes, or other recyclable materials you do not want to take to your new space, we ensure these items get recycled properly so they do not end up in a landfill.
- E-waste management: Technology must be disposed of properly, so we provide e-waste management services that handle this process for you.
- Liquidation services: We offer liquidation services to sell or donate your unwanted furniture. This clears space in our company-owned trucks and reduces the greenhouse gas emissions your move produces.

We have kept up with the evolution of commercial moving packaging to make your relocation as eco-friendly as possible, all while alleviating your stress and handling every stage of the process.
