Zac Fratkin is a proven, passionate, and relentless business leader with extensive experience in leadership, management, and accountability.

In 2010, finishing the final semester of an undergraduate Chemistry degree, he attempted to find work as a Forensic Trace Analyst, but had no such luck in a down economy. Downtrodden and student loan debt weighing heavily on his mind, an introduction from a friend found Fratkin in front of the CEO of Used Cardboard Boxes, Inc. Based in Los Angeles and opening their first warehousing operation in Baltimore to buy and sell used boxes, they were scrambling to get their facility under control.

Used Cardboard Boxes, Inc’s business model was simple: pay companies more than recycling rates for unpacked boxes, charge consumers and businesses less than the cost of new boxes, reduce demand for cutting down trees to make new boxes, create jobs right here in the US, perform the work efficiently and make a profit.

Inexperienced in manufacturing and sustainability, but hungry and eager to prove himself, Fratkin joined as an entry level Production Associate, sorting and stacking thousands of boxes per day by hand. Fratkin’s entrepreneurial spirit, passion, attention to detail, team mindedness and get it done mentality were quickly recognized and leveraged by leadership with 8 promotions, culminating in C-level roles, and paving the way for 7 figure annual growth for 11 straight years in a row for the company.

Today, Fratkin holds Officer roles as Chief Officer of Revenue (CRO) and Information (CIO), driving global profitability through innovation of our employee professional development programs, company structures, technology, and information systems. Fratkin started as their 5th employee, to recruiting and developing a network of 7 international offices and warehouses, making up a workforce of over 100 employees and contractors.

Fratkin is on the leading edge of technology, developing the company’s home grown software which is utilized for internal processes such as CRM, sales quoting (CPQ), order fulfillment, commerce, analytics and reporting...as well as externally used by leading Fortune 1000 manufacturing companies to track their sustainability metrics in real time, as well as to make the entire used box marketplace nothing more than a point and click away to their customers. 

As of 2022, Fratkin’s shining achievement is having saved an equivalent of over 6,000,000 trees through box re-use and diverted 500,000,000,000 pounds out of landfills through proper waste tracking, management and consulting. This includes managing the North American solid waste sustainability program for the Most Sustainable Food Manufacturing Company in the world (as rated by Corporate Knights in 2020).

Fratkin’s continued mission is to expand his diversity of skills, experience, scope of work, influence and gain a worldly perspective of business and people management.
