-.35
pounds
By removing several inches of unnecessary
cardboard from each box, he reduced the weight
by .35 pounds and .51 pounds per box.
-.51
pounds
The grand total.
Lighter boxes means we can save cost in shipping, and
also means less waste for our customers to dispose of.

By adding together the lost weight per box for each
of those boxes we shipped in since then, we realized that
we had taken 91,260 pounds out of our shipping boxes.

equivalent to six African elephants was
removed from the healthcare system.
