Nike is interested in helping to create a Better World. For instance, to help reduce packaging waste, Nike took a fresh look at their shoebox.
According to NikeBiz.com, corrugated cardboard is Nike’s single-largest material purchase. The shoebox and its shipping carton account for half of Nike packaging.
So they reengineered the shoe box, which now uses 30 percent less material than a 1995 vintage box, the company’s first 100-percent recycled-content box. The new shoe boxes, now in use, will save the equivalent of 200,000 trees annually.
