Günsan Elektrik has combined the shopping experience with a meaningful social responsibility project. Günsan shopping boxes no longer just carry products; they also provide a warm home for stray animals and become indispensable tools for daily household repairs. Launched with the slogan "Don't Throw Away, Recycle!", this project allows users to easily transform the boxes into cat houses or repair boxes, adding value to the environment and society.

Value is Added by Reuse, Not Recycling

Orders placed through Günsan Elektrik's online sales channel, online.gunsanelectric.com, are now shipped in multi-purpose boxes. These specially designed boxes can be easily folded by users to become a cat house or portable repair kit. This creative transformation not only helps reduce environmental waste but also adds functionality to living spaces.

A Warm Home for Little Friends

Designed for animals that need a warm and sheltered space, especially during the winter months, the boxes make every Günsan purchase meaningful. This way, users not only meet their needs but also provide a warm home for a stray animal.

Repair Work Is Now More Organized

The boxes also double as portable repair kits for everyday repairs. Their durable construction and practical design allow for the organized storage of small hand tools like cables, screwdrivers, and measuring instruments. A practical tool for home users, the repair kit is more than just a box.

Meaningful Steps for a Sustainable Future

Günsan Elektrik's environmentally friendly packaging approach both enhances the user experience and contributes to a sustainable production and consumption model. This project, which embraces a reuse approach beyond recycling, aims to create small but impactful change.
