I always love to see new and innovative way companies are using their packaging in an ecological way. I came across this great new concept by Joolz Stroller company to create a second use for their boxes...
"Joolz products are safely packed in cardboard. Until now, there was only one place for this: the wastepaper bin. Too bad, we said at Joolz. And really not sustainable. Therefore, we came up with a second, useful, life for the packaging of Joolz. Every box - from the pushchair itself, but also from every accessory – can be made into practical and beautiful product. From a lampshade to a bird house and from a picture frame to a chair. Not only can you make something new from the box of the pushchair itself, you can also use the boxes of the accessories to create a new product. From now on, consumers will find the directions on the boxes for cutting out and building one of the fine products."
Oh my gosh, I totally love this idea. What a fun thing to do... I would be just as excited to make something out of the packaging as I would be to receive my package (and it's contents). Haha Thanks for sharing.. super fun!

What a great idea.... and well-designed, too. I love the little illustrations on that bird house!

Oh my goodness. I think more companies should do this to be more sustainable.

This is an excellent Eco friendly solution to packaging waste. Maybe other companies should follow suit?
