As with all businesses, it is going to be difficult to be able to justify in your moving business all your costs when promoting the greener alternatives. But, understanding the impact that your client’s move has on the environment is part of  your environmental responsibility. It is about getting the right balance between the areas that you can protect and those that are essential to the moving business.

An area to consider

As with all moving, clients need to pack their belongings into boxes so they are easy to move. It is these boxes that you need to consider, they are normally only used twice before they are consigned to the recycle centers or the landfill sites.

There are alternatives that can be used repeatedly: plastic boxes, they are green, environmentally friendly, stack-able, and more secure. But, unless the moving business in question has a number of offices, then some alternatives can end up costing more than the cardboard boxes they are replacing.

There are a number of new techniques being developed and used by moving businesses that focus and promote the greener aspect, from packing materials to the fleets of trucks that are used. It will depend on the individual company and the resources that are available to them as to the options that they are then able to pass onto their clients.

Options to help

If there are ways that moving businesses can help their clients, then these areas should be considered. There are plenty of clients that move to new areas that could benefit from learning about their new environment, so they are able to make the best environmental choices.

This service could become part of a standard package to help new clients settle into new areas. This could help to reduce the impact that moving can have on the world.
