Nuss Relocations Sydney goes plastic free for international moves

Domestic moves to follow shortly.

Nuss Relocations Sydney, one of Australia’s leading moving and relocation specialists, are now providing international packing and wrapping services that are totally plastic free. This is a major advance in our efforts towards providing the most sustainable moving service in Australia.

Our international packing products are now all paper based including our furniture wrap, tape, fragile void chips, special crates, along with all other products that we use for international moves.

We specifically replaced traditional white packing paper too with a brown paper equivalent as brown does not go through the toxic bleaching process of white paper thus making it a far more eco-friendly option.

Nuss has taken a leadership position in implementing this seismic shift in Australia and in doing so, actively reducing the carbon footprint of an international move.

Our paper wrapping products are all 100% recyclable and we have abandoned the bubble wrap products that are still widely used by our industry. Although this is generally classed as re-cyclable in reality most of it ends up in landfill as the recycling entails a separation process that is both time consuming and costly.

Plastic tape is detrimental too as it makes recycling of cartons difficult. The tape can be very hard to remove and so using recyclable cartons is adversely impacted if they have been sealed with plastic tape.

Plastic and plastic based materials are clearly causing massive long term damage to our environment and so we are all responsible to push for change.

As we continue to make even more changes and improvements to our already robust sustainability program our Corporate, RMC, Agent Partners and Private clientele can all be assured of our ongoing commitment to our environment.
