Reuseabox Named Finalist for National Green Growth Awards

Reuseabox has been named a finalist for the inaugural Green Growth Awards, a new national competition celebrating small businesses that are leading the way in sustainability while driving business growth.

Founded in 2015 by Jack Good, Reuseabox is transforming the packaging industry by helping businesses reuse cardboard boxes, reducing waste, cutting carbon emissions, and lowering packaging costs. The company’s innovative impact model has already saved millions of trees and enabled thousands of businesses to adopt more sustainable supply chains.

The Green Growth Awards, launched by Small Business Britain in partnership with BT, will award two £5,000 sustainability grants to small businesses that have successfully integrated sustainable initiatives to boost their bottom line. The initiative is part of Small Business Britain’s mission to help the UK’s 5.5 million small businesses reduce their environmental impact while seizing new growth opportunities.

Jack Good, Founder of Reuseabox, said:

“It’s fantastic to be recognised in the first-ever Green Growth Awards. We’ve built Reuseabox on the belief that businesses can be both profitable and purpose-driven. By putting people and the planet first, we now work with thousands of businesses each year, helping them reuse cardboard boxes and cut their Scope 3 emissions.”

Michelle Ovens CBE, Founder of Small Business Britain, said:

“The Green Growth Awards recognise the outstanding small businesses that are not only leading the way in sustainability but are also using it to fuel innovation and growth. These businesses are proving that greener practices not only benefit the planet but also create real business success, whether through cost savings, waste reduction, or deeper customer engagement. Their passion and commitment are making a real impact on their communities and the economy.”

The nation’s 5.5m small businesses are estimated to represent half of the UK’s business emissions, and the Green Growth Awards has been launched as part of Small Business Britain’s ongoing partnership with BT to empower UK small businesses to better understand their environmental impact and embrace more sustainable practices and growth opportunities.

Chris Sims, Chief Commercial Officer, UK Business, at BT, said:

“The Green Growth Awards shine a spotlight on the small businesses that are not only driving sustainability but also setting the standard for innovation and growth. It’s truly inspiring to see how these businesses are leveraging sustainable practices to achieve real business success and create positive change in their communities. We’re really proud to support this initiative.”

BT is also a member of the Willow Review Steering Board, a new independent review aiming to underline the financial case for sustainability for small businesses, which has been spearheaded by Small Business Britain and is backed by the UK Government.

The Green Growth Awards winners will be announced on 11 March 2025 at BT’s Headquarters in London. Reuseabox is proud to be recognised among the finalists and hopes to bring the award home to Lincolnshire.
