Eco-friendly Business Idea – FrogBox
I absolutely love business ideas that concern the environment so when I read about FrogBox, I knew that I just had to share it with you!
Operating in Vancouver as well as Seattle, FrogBox offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional cardboard boxes used for moving. FrogBoxes eliminate the hassle of having to assemble and tape cardboard boxes and then dispose of them afterwards. The company delivers a set of boxes to your door which are charged for by the week. They then pick them up again from your new premises once you’re done! Delivery charges range from $30 – $50 depending on the address and 25 FrogBoxes as well as a small trailer, costs $79 for the week.
According to FrogBox, cardboard and paper waste makes up approximately 18 – 26 percent of landfill material. So that’s definitely a reason to make use of a service like this when moving.
This would be a great franchise concept to introduce to South Africa! So come on entrepreneurs, get moving (excuse the pun)!

I’d love some of these right now! Am busy taping cardboard boxes together… But I promise to recycle my boxes when I am done
That really is an innovative and clever idea – I hate using cardboard boxes and all the tape, what a nuisance!
Yup, definitely innovative – it’s something that appeals to the eco-conscious and to those wanting the convenience of a made-up box.
