If you have a crafty side, Amazon boxes can be upcycled into fun decorating projects like bookcases, wall art, or planters. Kids can also reuse them for art projects or playtime activities.

When you’re done with your projects, you also can use Amazon boxes to store your craft supplies. Apart from being sustainable, Amazon boxes are sturdy and well-built, so they’re great for storing things like books, toys, and even clothing.

2.
Give boxes new life by giving them away

Ask your friends, family, or neighbours if they need boxes. If you know anyone who is moving, they might appreciate the offer.

3.
Save them and ship them

Save the boxes for your own shipping. Many boxes will stack inside others, so you can store them until you have to send your own gifts to loved ones far away.

4.
Recycle them
