About Boxie

We're rethinking cardboard.

Most cardboard waste isn't waste at all, it's a resource we keep throwing away. Boxie is a Longmont, Colorado company building a smarter loop for one of the world's most-used materials, one box at a time.

Our story

Built for the long loop.

We started Boxie because the path from your front door to a recycling truck wastes more than it saves. Here's what we're building toward.

Reuse before recycling
Every box that's still got life in it goes back into circulation as gently used moving and shipping supplies, at a fraction of new-box prices.
Upcycle the rest
Cardboard past reuse becomes new products: honeycomb packing paper, garden mulch, compost, and firestarters.
Recycle what's left
Only what can't be reused or upcycled is sorted, baled, and routed to recycling partners. Never landfilled.
Prove the impact
Real numbers: tonnage diverted, trees saved, energy conserved. Compliance reports for businesses, a little satisfaction for everyone else.

Why we exist

The math doesn't add up. So we're fixing it.

Cardboard landfilled

More than half never gets reused or recycled.

$8B

Wasted every year

Lost material value plus landfill fees, annually.

40%

Less energy

Reuse and recycling beat making boxes from virgin fiber.

62M

Tons tossed a year

Cardboard thrown out in the U.S. annually. We think that's nuts.
