Because we're constantly upgrading, we receive a steady stream of new equipment and supplies. Unfortunately, it's not readily recyclable in most areas and a huge amount of "filler" ends up in landfills. To cut down on needless packing materials, we've requested that our suppliers ship our new equipment to us in bulk packaging when possible.
We've also made the switch to Gaylord boxes, which allow us to receive up to 20 servers on pallet in a single box with packaging inside the box. This cuts the packaging waste by about 2/3rds
