FROGBOX and Starworks help Olympics lower footprint

FROGBOX  and Starworks Packaging & Assembly were able to help Visa meet the VANOC 2010 mandate of being the most sustainable Olympics yet, both socially and environmentally. Starworks, a social enterprise operated by the Developmental Disabilities Association (DDA), employs 48 people with various disabilities for custom manual labour and assembly tasks.

As part of the DDA's sustainability initiatives, Starworks used FROGBOX as an environmentally friendly solution for assembling kits for distribution around Metro Vancouver. With the help of FROGBOX’s sturdy, stackable and reusable boxes, Starworks was able to save customer’s money on purchasing expensive boxes for temporary use.
