Putting ROKBOX to the test!

Will the glass break if we knock a ROKBOX Lite onto the cold, hard London pavement?

Watch and see...

Choose ROKBOX for superior artwork protection 💪♻️

We are pleased to announce that ROKBOX has successfully qualified as an Active Member for 2025-26 with @galleryclimatecoalition! To achieve Active status we had to demonstrate that our organisation had implemented environmentally responsible best practice in line with GCC guidance.

Active Membership is not a certification of sustainability nor a claim that we are doing things perfectly. We’re all doing our best to assess, report and reduce our impact, setting targets in line with science, taking any actions we can and working out other solutions as we go. We encourage all of our peers and colleagues to visit the @galleryclimatecoalition page or website to learn more about the initiative and how to get involved!

Celebrating International Museum Day and all the incredible people working to unite a divided world through arts and culture.

Art is an incredible force for good. It’s recently been proven to be good for your health*, and today we celebrate the benefits it can bring society more widely.

Said best by ICOM (@icomofficiel):

“Museums are trusted public spaces where people encounter stories, objects and one another. In times of social fragmentation, polarisation, and unequal access to knowledge and culture, museums help rebuild connection across generations, across communities, and across borders, fostering dialogue, understanding, inclusion, and peace within and between communities worldwide.”

*Looking at art reduces cortisol (stress hormone) by an average of 22%, according to study by @artfund and Kings College Hospital

The recent news that London’s @nationalgallery is to undertake extensive conservation work to Titian’s Masterpiece, ‘Bacchus and Ariadne’ reminds of the ongoing care needed in collections.

Back in October, during Frieze week, we had an intimate tour of the collection to launch ‘Full Circle’, a new initiative from @cura_art_ @rokbox @ackermanstudios and @soteria_conservation

Here, Dr Christina Makris shared her wonderful and personal insight into one of her favourite works in the National Gallery’s collection. According to the writer and wine consultant, great paintings don’t stay still, they grow with you. Thank you so much to @christinavmakris for her thoughtful and unique response to this work.

‘Full Circle’ is a network of art world professionals committed to nurturing a culture of thoughtful, informed, and responsible collecting. We champion consideration over spectacle, longevity over trend, and connection over exclusivity.

Through conversation-led programming, shared insights, and supporting resources, we provide continued guidance to collectors from acquiring a first piece to refining an established collection, and the consideration for moments along the way.

✨Stay tuned for more events later this year!

Faced with the high cost, waste, and logistical complexity of traditional wooden crates for museum art loans, Art Bridges partnered with ROKBOX to rethink fine art packaging. This case study demonstrates how ROKBOX is a reusable, more sustainable shipping solution that streamlines operations, reduces environmental impact, and improves the efficiency of artwork transport.

With many thanks to the Art Bridges Foundation team for their pragmatic and
enthusiastic approach, and for their help with this case study: Andi Phillips, Max
Strauss, Amy Zavecz, Megan Valentine.

Thanks also to all the loan partners who are integrating reusable and circular crating
into their practices.

Thank you to Paul Embleton (@_the_art_of_installation_) for his fascinating Substack article on innovations in art crating, and the review of ROKBOX LiteHD.

‘We are sending artworks around the world constantly, and we always will be. That responsibility - to the works, to the institutions, to the environment - means the crating conversation is one this industry needs to be having all the time. The market is developing. The products are getting better. The thinking needs to keep pace with both.’

We’re delighted to see Russell Cotes Art Gallery & Museum using their ROKBOX Lite to move Ave Maria Lane by Robert MacBryde, for ‘Robert MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun: Artists, Lovers, Outsiders’.

“I have just sent the ROXBOX off on its first adventure this morning. They are so light and easy to manage. I felt much safer moving the ROXBOX around our historic interiors given that it has no sharp edges”. - Duncan Walker, Curator, Russell Cotes Art Gallery & Museum

This painting is one of the artist’s earlier works. The work was exhibited in the show ‘Six Scottish Painters’ at the Lefevre Gallery in 1942 and appeared in volume 29 of ‘Horizon’. The image shows bomb damage in the area around St Paul’s Cathedral.

What a week 🌍 We kicked off at Dietl’s ‘Sustainability in Practice’ at the British Library and ended with a speed packing challenge at Christie’s Earth Day event.

Grateful for all the conversations; feeling inspired and challenged. There’s more happening behind the scenes than meets the eye and some people are pushing for real change, quietly.

That’s not greenwashing, that’s green hushing 👀 and a reminder to stay connected with other organisations to avoid duplication (easily done with stretched budgets and teams, thinking you have to do everything in house when there solutions already exist).

Lesson from Earth Day 2026... more collaboration, less stress 🤝

Thanks to our partners for welcoming on stage at their events:

Every day is earth day at ROKBOX, but each year it gives us a moment to review the progress being made by our wonderful partners and clients.

Moving from the old ‘make-use-destroy’ model of fine art packaging to a sharing and circular model doesn’t happen overnight but our impact figures show that significant change is under way.

By choosing a reusable ROKBOX crate over a single-use wooden crate, museums, auction houses, galleries and collectors have stopped:

28 tonnes of single-use packaging waste going to landfill,
And saved 64,000kgs (64 tonnes) of CO2e.

This means:
Less pollution in the air we breathe 🌸
Fewer toxins in our waters, soils and crops 🪴
Reduced chance of extreme weather ⛈️

A huge thank you to our collaborators, and also to all the museums, galleries, auction houses and collectors who favour ROKBOX technology and climate innovation.

Our impact is small, but growing.
