This is a video about a pizza box that can be used a plates and is easy to reduce in size and therefore recycle. I know it's not a shoe box - but it's still a box that's recyclable with an alternative use!
This is such a simple idea to make a shoe box transportable without the need for additional bags.
What a great idea - a recyclable shoe box and a pair of socks and a reusable shoe bag!
Another ingenious product from Puma. Ideally we don't want to keep producing plastic bags, but there always seems to be a need for one and this is a fantastic biodegradable alternative to what is currently available - why on earth isn't this common knowledge and widely available?

A fun shoe box for toddlers’ Converse shoes. Converse like to think it helps improve children’s motor skills by allowing the child to lace-up the box - a good idea I guess. When 5 boxes are collected they can be placed together to form the Converse star so this is hoping for consumer loyalty.
Nike limited edition football boot boxes - the first one closes to an arrow shape. Looks good but not sure it's very green!
Puma's clever little bag is half box - half bag. The box is recyclable and the bag is reusable.
