A Sustainable Shipping Crate: Environmental Impact
We are all looking for ways to make our supply chain more eco-friendly through green products, reduced waste, and decreased energy usage. The biggest problem is, green products usually cost more. What if they didn’t? We’re excited to share our approach to creating a sustainable shipping crate. See for yourself!

Close the Loop with a Sustainable Shipping Crate
Trees – Paper – Corrugate – ECORRCRATE® – Compactor – Recycle Process
- Constructed from basic, renewable resources
- Ecorrcrates are easy to recycle in your standard recycle program, with other paper and corrugate materials.
- Ecorrcrates are reusable – the reliability and durability make Ecorrcrates an excellent candidate for reuse.
- The light weight construction of Ecorrcrates reduces Supply Chain energy use i.e. forklift, transportation fuel
Reusable Shipping Crates
With some simple modifications for ease of knock down and set up, ECORRCRATES® are easily transformed into a robust, reusable shipper.
Normal shipping wear and tear are no problem for ECORRCRATES, the same wear and tear that is so detrimental to shipping in a traditional wood crate. ECORRCRATES are not brittle and maintain structural integrity at a higher rate than a traditional wood crate. Set up, knock down and re-close does not create damage points, unlike the closure method of most wood crates.
ECORRCRATES are constructed in modular components. If damaged beyond use, each component can be replaced at a minimal cost as compared to replacing the entire unit!
