What about clean-reusable packing material like bubblewrap and foam products? Ever open a box shipped from a mail-order source and see all the perfectly clean packing material inside?....what do we usually do with it?....yep, throw it away. What about the large appliance and furniture items with both foamwrap and styrofoam?.....same thing,to the trash. Some companies recycle styrofoam in very large quantities where it is reprocessed, but is anyone offering the "used box" concept in the packing material market? Doesn't it seem strange for a person to be "earth-concious" about boxes (saving trees/landfill waste),and not have the same concern for items that are also re-usable (again and again)and not usually biodegradable? Ever priced a box of new bubble wrap?....close to $20.00 for any worthwhile size. Next time you are at a large Office or Home store, check it out. Is any one out there offering this alternative?....seems it would be a logical addition to their business, and busines philosophy. All comments are welcome.

Can you have someone contact me as to what you are willing to pay for them. It seems awaist to discard them but unless I can re-coop the efforts for taking the time to save and provide them to a useful purpose, it just easier to dump them in the dumpster. Let me know if your company is interested. Thanks Mike Miller I have an unlimited supply of boxes that I would like to sell.
