Sustainability
Our commitment to environmental responsibility through sustainable packaging solutions
Every box we save from the landfill is a step toward a more sustainable future.
Our Environmental Mission
At HTX Boxes, sustainability isn't just a buzzword - it's at the core of everything we do. The packaging industry generates millions of tons of waste annually, but much of this waste consists of perfectly usable containers that simply need a second chance.
By collecting, inspecting, repairing, and redistributing used gaylord boxes, we're helping businesses reduce their environmental footprint while saving money on packaging costs.
Our Sustainable Practices
Reuse First
We prioritize extending the life of existing boxes. Every box that can be reused is one less box manufactured and one less in the landfill.
Expert Repair
Our repair team restores damaged boxes to functional condition, giving them multiple additional use cycles before recycling.
Responsible Recycling
When boxes reach the end of their useful life, we ensure they're recycled through certified facilities, turning them into new cardboard products.
Local Operations
By keeping our operations local to Houston, we minimize transportation emissions and support the local economy.
