Whether it is a matter of business relocation or private relocationit's in the best interest of the environment if green solutions are considered to create the most environmentally friendly move possible.

That's why we've put together a number of tips for your move to make it more sustainable.

Check out our tips for an eco-friendly move and contact us if you need a hand with your move.

  • Reuse the original boxes

If you have saved the original boxes for old electronics, furniture or other items, use them when you move! Not only will you save money on buying new boxes, but you'll also save the environment by reusing.

  • Use containers that you already own:

You already have several storage solutions in your home that you can use for moving. Suitcases, drawers, bags, plastic bags, duffel bags, tote bags, sports bags and whatever else you can think of can all be used for moving. You save money, time and it makes for a much more environmentally friendly move.

  • Rent your moving boxes

Another way to have an eco-friendly move is to rent or borrow borrowing your moving boxes. This method is gradually becoming more widespread in Denmark and is a smart and easy way for you to protect the environment.

  • Sell and donate

Throwing things away because you no longer need them is a huge waste. If your items are fine, sell or donate them instead. Also, remember that even if you can't see the value of an item, it's better to take it to a recycling center and let them assess whether the item can be resold. One person's junk can be someone else's gold!

  • Be responsible when throwing out waste

Some things obviously can't be saved and must be thrown away. Remember to sort your waste into the right categories at the recycling center. This way, you'll help the environment as much as possible and make your move more environmentally friendly.

  • Rent a storage unit

By renting a storage unit closer to your new location where your belongings can be stored, you'll save the environment several long drives back and forth. It is also possible to choose a storage companythat focuses on the environment and sustainability.

  • Make sure you have a big enough moving van

You won't have a very eco-friendly move if you choose to drive back and forth in a small car with your belongings. Unless you own an electric car, it's better to use a large moving van to minimize fuel consumption.

  • Buy eco-friendly materials

You can buy both tape and bubble wrap, which is more environmentally friendly. So if you're buying materials for new, go for the products that are made from the greenest materials.
