BoxCamp is a UCLA startup that seeks to provide its customers with convenient and affordable storage solutions. The company was created to help college students pack, transport, and store items such as textbooks, small appliances, and clothing during the summer break.
In an email interview conducted with Keith Yoder, CEO of BoxCamp, we asked what type of environmental strategy (if any) the company was currently practicing. We learned that being more sustainable is a goal BoxCamp is interested in pursuing; however, they do not currently have a clear plan to do so. Thus, we recommend a few environmental strategies to make the business more sustainable without compromising profits. These strategies focus largely on improving the company’s packaging methods, either by switching to the use of reusable plastic bins, which have a superior life cycle analysis to corrugated cardboard, or by incentivizing customers to recycle their boxes after use so that BoxCamp can resell them. Overall, these strategies will allow the company to improve both its bottom line and environmental performance.
Group 3: Brisa Aviles, Kalei Aricayos, Andrea Mahieu, Corey Ly, and Allison Wolhart
