When the world thinks of Costa Rica, it often thinks of pristine rainforests, pura vida culture, and a country that runs almost entirely on renewable energy. But now, Costa Rica is exporting something else to the world — a sustainable revolution in the moving and storage industry, led by Marco Zeledón, CEO of Easy Moving Box (EMB).

A Vision Rooted in Sustainability

Marco Zeledón grew up in a country where sustainability isn’t just a policy — it’s a way of life. Costa Rica has preserved more than 25% of its land as protected areas, has banned single-use plastics in many sectors, and consistently ranks as one of the greenest nations on earth.

It’s this ethos that Marco has carried into Easy Moving Box: a belief that the most everyday industries — even something as traditional as moving — can be reimagined to serve both people and the planet.

Reinventing the Moving Box

For over a century, cardboard boxes have been the default for moving. But they’re fragile, wasteful, and costly. The U.S. alone consumes nearly 900 million moving boxes each year, cutting down almost 6 million trees annually to produce them.

Marco Zeledón saw an opportunity to flip this model upside down. With EMB’s rolling, reusable road-case-inspired boxes, he’s created a system that:

Cuts moving time by two-thirds

Saves consumers money with simple, affordable rentals

Eliminates cardboard waste and the CO₂ burden of disposable packaging

Empowers everyday people (EBoxers) to earn income by delivering and managing EMB fleets

Empowering People and Communities

Zeledón’s vision isn’t just about greener boxes — it’s about reshaping the entire moving experience. With EMB, moving becomes easier, safer, and faster for consumers. And with the rise of EBoxers, local entrepreneurs can join the EMB ecosystem, creating opportunity in every community EMB touches.

Just as Costa Rica became a model for the world by proving small nations could lead in sustainability, EMB is proving that a startup can lead a global industry into a new era.

Global Implications

The moving and storage industry is a trillion-dollar market that touches nearly every household. By embedding sustainability into the heart of this market, Marco Zeledón is positioning EMB as the first mover in a massive transformation — one where consumer convenience, economic opportunity, and environmental responsibility all align.

The Boxed View

Consumers win: faster, cheaper, safer moves.

Communities win: EBoxers create opportunity and local impact.

The planet wins: fewer trees cut, less CO₂, more sustainability.

The industry evolves: EMB proves moving doesn’t have to be stuck in the past.

Marco Zeledón isn’t just building a company. He’s exporting Costa Rica’s ethos of sustainability to the world — one Easy Moving Box at a time.
