Moving Should Be Greener.
Emerald Tote was born from a simple frustration: why do we still use cardboard boxes to move in 2024?
Built in Eugene, Oregon
Moving is one of life’s most stressful events, and one of its most wasteful. The average household move generates 30–50 cardboard boxes, most of which end up in the landfill within days of the move.
We looked at what successful reusable tote companies were doing in major metros like Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco, and we asked: why doesn’t Eugene have this?
So we built it. Emerald Tote is designed from the ground up for the Willamette Valley, a community that cares deeply about sustainability, supports local businesses, and deserves a better moving experience.
Our model is simple: deliver sturdy, reusable totes to your door, let you move, then pick everything up. No waste. No hassle. Just a smarter way to move.
