5 Ways to Upcycle your Shipper Box

It’s no surprise that we’re pretty big on the whole sustainability thing, and we absolutely love that our pods and boxes are compostable...however upcycling is even better!

Here are some genius ideas from our community, to inspire you to upcycle the shipper box from your next coffee delivery.

 

1. Recycle it as a gift box to deliver treats to your mates.

Home delivered scones are the definition of true friendship. One of the many plus sides to this upcycling technique is the likelihood of receiving the box back from your mate with treats in it. It's a win-win.

 

2. Give your furry friends a cool new recycled crib.

Cats absolutely love snuggling up in our shipper boxes. Who needs to go spend you hard earned cash on pet beds when you've got this castle for cats sitting in your pantry?

 

3. Store your gym equipment.

This probably won’t work for the aspiring Arnold Schwarzeneggers amongst us who are bench pressing 100kg, but for those who keep it simple with a skipping rope & resistance band, our shipper box is the recycled storage box for you!

 

4. Entertain your baby for hours.
