First of all, let’s talk about the packaging. Because each year we use an enormous amount of it. Yes, you could say, “Hey, that’s cardboard, it’s ecological and so on”. But the truth is we need to reduce the number of things we produce to make things better on our lovely planet Earth.
In the USA “containers and packaging make up a major portion of municipal solid waste (MSW), amounting to 82.2 million tons of generation in 2018 (28.1 per cent of total waste)” and when it comes to the EU “in 2018 the total volume of packaging was estimated at 77.7 million tonnes — a slight increase of 0.3 % compared with 2017.”
All this makes our planet suffer as well.
With this in mind let’s go straight to the point: the answer is — REPACK.
It is indeed a really cool option for packing and even cooler for repacking, using and reusing. A single RePack bag is made from recycled polypropylene, which is made from post-consumer waste. So, in conclusion, this is an excellent solution.
The company is based in Finland, got support from the EU for innovation and a game-changing solution and, most importantly, now you can jump into their loop in many countries in Europe and North America.
SHORTCUT:
WHY?
Huge impact in a difficult sector.
FOR WHOM?
Both for small and big businesses. If you are a customer, this is also the perfect option for you. It may be nice to ask if your favourite brand has that option or considers having it. I feel this is the first step in the future of reusable packaging.
HOW MUCH?
RePack size S (box of 100, max 6L per 1) €275,00
Size M (box of 100, max 21L per 1) €300,00
L (box of 100, max 45L per 1) €350,00
WHERE?
To sum up, RePack helps over 150 brands and retailers to move away from single-use packaging in Europe and North America.
