At SmythsHomevalue.ie, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond the products we sell. It’s part of how we deliver them too. From reusing boxes to repurposing shredded cardboard, we’ve adopted smarter, greener packaging that supports a cleaner future.
What Makes Our Packaging Sustainable?
-
Reusing Cardboard Boxes: We save usable boxes and give them a second life, reducing waste right from the source.
-
Shredded Filler, Not Plastic: We shred old cardboard to protect your items in transit—no bubble wrap, no foam, just smart sustainable choices.
-
Low-Waste, High-Impact: These small steps align with larger Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and help minimize our environmental footprint.
Turn Your Packaging Into a Garden Booster
Wondering what to do with your box after you unpack it? Good news: cardboard is garden gold. Here’s how you can use it to enrich your garden beds:
-
Sheet Mulching: Lay flattened cardboard in your garden beds to suppress weeds and retain moisture.
-
Composting: Tear cardboard into smaller pieces and mix it with green waste like grass clippings—it makes an excellent “brown” layer in compost.
-
Raised Bed Lining: Use it as a biodegradable barrier under your soil mix in raised beds.
