Making moves

Jonathan Smuts (2014O) and his MintBox

Jonathan Smuts (2014O), and friend Jordan Mawby (Glenwood, 2013) have taken it upon themselves to find innovative ways to change the moving industry.  Starting with small scale moving, they hope to find new ways to disrupt the moving industry.

Our aim was to create a way of making relocating home & office space more sustainable on the environment. With that, MintBox was launched - a moving company that offers rental moving boxes made from robust recycled plastic.

These unique, reusable boxes are cost effective and alleviate the need to buy wasteful cardboard boxes that end up becoming dust collectors that sit around the house taking up space.

This is said to only be the start of our business journey into sustainable moving solutions. As we grow, we will continue to look to find new ways to completely revolutionise the industry, in order to offer people eco-friendly packing materials and decluttering recycle facilities.
