What efforts does Asian Tigers make for environmental protection?
Earth Day falls on April 22nd each year. It is a special day for the protection of the world's environment and encourages people to live a green and low-carbon life. In this installment, we will introduce what efforts Asian Tigers, as an international moving company, has made for environmental protection.
1. Choosing Greener Transportation
Traditional diesel cars consume a lot of fuel and pollute the environment. We purchased some electric trucks with no exhaust gas, no heat emissions, and low noise which are more friendly to residents and the environment.

2. Recycling Packaging Material
Asian Tigers China recycles packing materials according to their degree of usage. For example, new cartons and new wooden crates can be reused as packaging materials, old cartons can be used as fillers. Many materials are also transported among branch offices in different cities for reusing, such as tools, blankets, white gloves, etc.

3. Reducing the Size of Packages
Our packers are experienced and have good command of tailoring packaging for your furniture. They can not only stabilize the goods effectively, but save carton space to reduce using cartons and material wastage.
