Reuseabox, the new, recycled, and used cardboard boxes and packaging solutions firm, has purchased a 78,000 sq ft warehouse in North Hykeham, Lincoln.
After renting two warehouses in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, the move marks a significant leap from the business’s previous 20,000 sq ft of space, providing nearly four times the capacity to scale its operations.
With the additional space, Reuseabox has also been able to welcome more suppliers on board and introduce more lines of used boxes.
The new site will now serve as Reuseabox’s main headquarters.
While the move follows the closure of Cartwright Brothers after over 100 years in business, Reuseabox sees this as an opportunity to breathe new life into an historic site.
Founder, Jack Good, said: “It’s always sad to see a long-standing business like Cartwright Brothers close its doors. They played a vital role in the community for over a century, and we hope to carry forward a legacy of service and sustainability from this site.
“Purchasing our own site after 10 years of operating has taken sheer determination and continuous reinvestment into scaling our operations. This move marks a new chapter for Reuseabox, giving us the space and infrastructure to grow even further.
“There’s plenty of work ahead to make this site our own, but we’re excited to get started. We can’t wait to welcome suppliers and customers in the autumn as part of our 10-year anniversary celebrations.”
The new site will allow Reuseabox to improve its operations and services for businesses looking to cut waste, expand its team, meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions and help businesses reduce their Scope 3 emissions.
Reuseabox is working towards making its warehouse carbon neutral by 2030.
