Our Story
Eco Crate exists because of real-life experience — not a big business plan.
As part of The Collective Network Ltd, Eco Crate was created to make moving simpler, faster, and less wasteful. After building The Collective — a purpose-led social enterprise focused on sustainability and community — our founder Louise saw a clear gap: people were still relying on cardboard moving boxes that were slow, messy, and often thrown away after one use.
At the heart of it all is her daughter, Billie. Becoming a mum sparked a shift — a desire to live more consciously and make everyday decisions that reflect what really matters: people, the planet, and the future we’re creating.
Eco Crate is a practical solution to that.
Our reusable moving boxes (durable plastic crates) are a cleaner, faster, and more efficient alternative to cardboard moving boxes — helping Auckland households and businesses move with less stress and less waste.
We deliver and collect across Auckland, with free delivery and pick-up available within our local service area.
When you hire Eco Crate, you’re not just moving — you’re moving smarter.
