OfficeMax introduces reusable shipping bin program

March 11 -- Office supply retailer OfficeMax is introducing a new reusable shipping bin program for contract business customers.

The program will help OfficeMax customers meet sustainability goals, company officials said.

"We´re constantly seeking ways to implement programs that help our customers operate more cost-efficiently and conserve natural resources," said Reuben Slone, EVP of Supply Chain for OfficeMax.
