Reusable packaging as a service for e-commerce

ended

Reusable packaging as a service Problem • We all shop more online, and each EU resident creates 160 kilograms of packaging waste annually. Current delivery packaging in e-commerce is used once and thrown away, with 52% going directly to a landfill; • A European strategy for Plastics in Circular Economy requires all packaging to be reusable or recyclable by 2030. Solution • Cost-effective, easy to use reusable and returnable delivery packaging service for e-commerce; • Data and logistics platform to take back empty packaging and reward users for taking part; • The solution has already been demonstrated on a small-scale in an operational environment reaching TRL 7. User and customer feedback are positive without exceptions; Market Opportunity • Total Available market (TAM) in 2018 was $850bn. Serviceable Available Market (SAM) is $15bn ($24bn in 2023). RePack Target Market € 600m; • Demonstrated customer willingness to pay: used by 50 brands in 14 countries. Service revenue 200k € in 2018 with 30 000 shipments. Goal of the Proposal RePack service will be scaled-up to replace single-use packaging.
