How to Measure Your Move’s Environmental Impact

Planning a move in Quebec? Here’s how to do it hassle-free and with less waste. Measuring the Environmental Impact of Your Move starts with understanding where emissions hide: transport, packing materials, waste, and reuse. By making better choices, you reduce your footprint and save time.

GoBac, a local company based in Montreal, simplifies the process with the rental of reusable moving bins and boxes. We deliver to your home, pick them up afterward, and you move stress-free. The result: less cardboard, fewer trips, more efficiency. It’s practical, eco-friendly, and economical for households, businesses, and moving professionals.

Why measure the impact of your move

An average move generates waste, transport, and a lot of single-use materials. Measuring the impact helps you focus on what matters: distance traveled, type of vehicle, number of boxes, packaging, and end-of-life materials. By evaluating these aspects, you can take concrete actions that make a real difference.

In Quebec, reducing at the source is the priority. Opting for reusable bins and planning your logistics reduces your carbon footprint and your bill. It’s not rocket science: fewer kilometers, less cardboard, more reuse.

• Note the total mileage and type of truck.
• Count the number of boxes and packing materials.
• Assess what will be reused, recycled, or composted.

Why choose GoBac’s reusable boxes

GoBac bins replace single-use cardboard boxes. Sturdy, clean, and stackable, they reduce losses and breakage. Since they are used for dozens of moves, their impact per use is much lower than new cardboard.

For moves in Montreal and throughout Quebec, it’s a turnkey solution: no need to shop for boxes, tape, or manage recycling afterward. You save time and gain peace of mind.

• Immediate reduction of waste at the source.
• Less adhesive tape and bubble wrap.
• Proven durability and sanitized between each rental.

How rental works with GoBac

It’s simple: choose your bin rental package based on the size of your home (Residential Rental) or your project (Commercial Rental). GoBac delivers the moving boxes to your door, then picks them up once you’re settled.

This logistics reduces back-and-forth trips and optimizes loading. Fewer trips mean fewer emissions. For moving professionals, the standardization of bins speeds up operations and limits breakage.

• Estimate your needs: rooms, volume, distance.
• Reserve your bins; delivery and pickup included.
• Pack, stack, move without stress.

Eco-friendly and economic advantages

Measuring impact also means counting savings. Less cardboard purchased, less tape, fewer damages: the bill goes down and so does the footprint. Reusable bins are designed for multiple cycles, which dilutes their initial impact.

Regarding GHGs, the largest share often comes from transport. By reducing trips and optimizing volume with stackable bins, you cut kilometers and thus emissions.

• Measurable reduction of waste sent to recycling.
• Optimization of volume in the truck, fewer trips.
• Total costs reduced compared to new cardboard.

An ideal solution for individuals and businesses

Whether it’s for a 3½ in Montreal, a condo in Quebec City, or an office relocation, GoBac adapts. Teams benefit from a clear, fast, and clean system, without piles of boxes to dispose of.

For organizations sensitive to sustainable development, bin rental supports your ESG commitments and facilitates footprint reporting. It’s a concrete, visible action appreciated by teams.
