In the U.K., around five billion corrugated boxes are used annually, adding up to about 83 per person. In the United States, every year more than 80 billion corrugated boxes are used and the average household throws away more than 9,000 pieces of cardboard.
As part of its Environmental Social Governance (ESG) commitments, Filta set a goal to do its part and reduce this type of cardboard waste and get employees on board as well. During the 2021 holiday season, the Filta Group Inc. (USA). headquarters in Orlando launched an initiative to recycle shipping boxes and formalized a program to encourage employees to bring in their Amazon (or other shipping) boxes from home so Filta could reuse them in outgoing shipments to franchisees.
