STORYGreen by design — how Khpalwak recycles 100% of the boxes it ships
A small recycling program that's kept 8 tons of cardboard out of Kabul landfills since launch.
Every Khpalwak delivery arrives in a custom-printed cardboard box — and every Khpalwak delivery driver leaves with the empty box from your last order. The result: a 100% recycling rate on shipping packaging since the program launched eighteen months ago.
The cardboard goes back to a partner facility in Kabul where it's processed into new packaging stock, closing the loop entirely. Since launch the program has kept 8 tons of cardboard out of city landfills.
