EcoShip’s Timeline

  • Before EcoShip was EcoShip


    June 2021

    Founder, Aleksandra, began collecting packaging materials for her partner, Peter’s, e-commerce business. Using local Facebook groups, she drove around Chicago to gather items.

  • Nonprofit or For Profit?


    January 2022

    It was decided that EcoShip would become a nonprofit, benefitting local businesses with free packaging. We formed our board, got our first storage unit, and got to work.

  • First Grant


    October 2022

    EcoShip is awarded our first grant through Delta Institute, allowing us to rent out a second storage unit and expand our operations.
