The average Australian moves house about 13 times in their lifetime. That is a lot of boxes, tape, and packing material. While many people are careful about donating unwanted items during a move, in fact, 66% of Australians gave to charity last year, the real environmental cost often comes from the packaging itself. Traditional cardboard boxes and bubble wrap are wasteful, fragile, and end up in landfills after only one to three uses.
Sydney residents are now looking for smarter alternatives. Men That Move is leading the shift with eco-friendly plastic moving boxes that are stronger, cleaner, and better for the planet. These boxes are not just a sustainable choice; they are also the most practical and cost-effective way to move within the Sydney suburbs.
When people move houses, waste piles up. From broken furniture to discarded packing materials, most of it heads straight to the landfill. Single-use cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, and Styrofoam are some of the worst offenders.
Consider these issues:
- Short lifespan: A cardboard box usually lasts only one to three moves before collapsing.
- Wasteful production: More than 900 million trees are cut down each year to make paper and cardboard products, many of which are used once and discarded.
- Weather risk: Cardboard does not survive rain, humidity, or accidental spills, leaving belongings vulnerable.
- Hidden costs: Buying enough cardboard boxes plus tape can be expensive, especially when most of it cannot be reused.
These problems make cardboard a poor choice for modern moving, both for the environment and for your wallet.
Men That Move provides reusable plastic moving boxes that solve all of these problems in one simple step.
Plastic boxes can be reused up to 400 times before recycling. That is a huge improvement compared to cardboard’s average of just three uses. This durability reduces waste and ensures your belongings are always protected.
Sydney’s weather is unpredictable, and a sudden downpour can ruin cardboard boxes. Plastic boxes are crush-proof, water-resistant, and reliably protect your belongings no matter the forecast.
Uniform sizes mean eco-friendly plastic boxes stack securely, which speeds up moving day and maximises space in moving trucks. Fewer trips mean less stress, lower costs, and reduced carbon emissions.
Each box has attached hinged lids. You simply fill, close, and stack, no tape or messy assembly required.
By renting reusable boxes, you cut down on the demand for new cardboard production and keep unnecessary waste out of landfills. At the end of their long lifespan, plastic boxes are fully recyclable, leaving a 94% lower carbon footprint compared to single-use cardboard.
Men That Move has refined the moving process to be simple and sustainable:
Delivery to your door: Eco-friendly plastic boxes are dropped off before your move so you can pack at your own pace.
Stress-free moving day: The boxes are uniform, secure, and easy to handle, which speeds up loading and unloading.
Post-move pickup: Once you are settled in, Men That Move collects the boxes. You are not left with stacks of cardboard or disposal headaches.
This streamlined process saves you time, reduces clutter, and eliminates the waste of traditional moving supplies.

- Families: Strong boxes for toys, clothes, books, and fragile items.
