Reusable Packing Crates
When packing, take advantage of companies that offer reusable packing crates, which can eliminate excessive waste. One such outfit that rents sturdy packing crates made of recycled plastic bottles is California-based Earth Friendly Moving. The company drops off the crates before you move and picks them up afterward in its fleet of bio-diesel trucks. 
Another company is Rent-A-Crate, a nationwide firm that offers moving crates made of recyclable high density polypropylene.
