A “Seasoned Traveler Box” is what we call clean, gently used boxes that get to travel the globe again and again. We give you the option of selecting a gently used and clean box at check-out. As our thank you, we'll plant one tree with our partner, One Tree Planted.Here’s why it’s the best option:Reduce pollution and energy consumption. Recycling, manufacturing, and transporting raw materials and finished products are energy intensive. Reduce dependence on trees. With the rise in online sales, there’s been a greater need for cardboard. While it’s typically a mix of new and recycled material, your box still requires the felling of trees. Lots of trees. Reduce costs. By reusing, we buy fewer boxes, a savings you feel in competitive pricing and our ability to donate $1 for every “Seasoned Traveler Box” we ship to our reforestation partner, One Tree Planted and they in turn, plant one tree. 1 box=1 tree. Be good to your box, you never know where it could go next!Note: All of gently used packaging options are clean, never used for food, and still in their prime. Also we reserve the right to make the choice for you, because while we have a ton of new eco-boxes and mailers, we try to use the smallest possible container for your order. Sometimes the smallest box is the used box.
