Technology & Efficiency
With direct and indirect energy savings, U-Haul helps mitigate high-energy consumption throughout the U.S. and Canada, demonstrating that excellent environmental practices enhance corporate sustainability and foster a healthier community.
Box Sharing & Green Products
A U-Haul box is so sturdy that it can be reused again and again. Made of up to 90 percent post-consumer content, this also makes U-Haul boxes the best choice for the cost-conscious and recycle-conscious consumer.
Reuse Programs
U-Haul is committed to reuse via several programs such as adaptive reuse of buildings, our Take A Box, Leave A Box program, storage Re-Use centers, sustainable modular storage and our Patriot Truck Leasing program, to repurpose existing materials.
