A move often generates a lot of waste and consumes resources. With a few simple measures, you reduce your ecological footprint without extra effort.

Reuse boxes

Use second-hand boxes or rent reusable moving crates. After the move, pass the boxes on to others or return them. This avoids waste and saves resources.

Sort instead of throwing away

Sell, donate or give away items you no longer need instead of throwing them away. Kept furniture often finds a new home. This protects the environment and helps other people.

Tip: Use blankets, towels and textiles as packing material. They protect your things just as well and you save on bubble wrap.

Eco-friendly packing material

Avoid plastic where possible. Paper, newspaper and textiles work well as padding. For fragile items, there are sustainable alternatives to plastic bubble wrap.

Efficient transport

Plan the transport to avoid unnecessary trips. A well-loaded vehicle is more efficient than many back-and-forth journeys. An experienced moving company optimises the route and load – good for the environment and your wallet.
