One fifth of all Americans – 20 percent – move every year! That means that the average U.S. resident will move a total of 16 times over their lifetime – about once every five years! That’s a lot of moving!

Moving supplies such as boxes, bubble wrap and other packaging materials remain piled up in landfills long after people have settled into their new abodes. EarthFriendlyMoving has set out to change that by offering eco-friendly moving supplies available at consumer-friendly prices.

Founded in 2006, EarthFriendlyMoving™ is the country’s first comprehensive, zero-waste do-it-yourself (DIY) packing and moving system developed entirely from recyclable trash mined from local landfills. The first significant advancement in packing and moving in more than 200 years, EarthFriendlyMoving gives relocating Americans a revolutionary, eco-friendly alternative to cardboard boxes, petroleum-based bubble wrap, Styrofoam and other environmentally destructive packing and moving supplies.

Their signature innovation The RecoPack™ (Recycled Ecological Packing Solution) is a series of lightweight, stackable moving containers made by EarthFriendlyMoving from recycled plastic waste products like bleach, detergent and oil bottles, and rented to relocating customers for a weekly fee of $1 each. The company mines these hard-to-recycle waste products from Southern California landfills before sorting, scrubbing, grinding and remolding them into five sizes of RecoPack containers, plus a delivery pallet (known as the “Poopy Pallet”) made from 500 recycled baby diapers. Following the move, the containers are picked-up at customers’ new homes by EarthFriendlyMoving’s fleet of lime green, vegetable oil-powered trucks.

In addition to the RecoPack, EarthFriendlyMoving manufactures the RecoCube, a biodegradable loose-fill cube made from paper sludge that can be used as fertilizer after the move. The company also expands precut Geami™ packing paper made from recycled paper. In all, EarthFriendlyMoving trucks offer more than 100 other time-, money- and earth-saving packing and moving products for sale or rent.

For every 100 RecoPack containers they manufacture, EarthFriendlyMoving removes an average of 256 pounds of trash from the country’s landfills!

This translates into 7,400 hard-to-recycle plastic bottles, 600 used diapers, 83 pounds of paper, 13 pounds of hydro carbons,and 64 pounds of carbon dioxide.

It also saves three healthy green trees from being cut down and made into disposable packing products like cardboard boxes!
