Reusable Delivery Packaging

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The RePack System Encourages Consumers to Return Their Used Envelopes

— January 12, 2015 — Eco
This reusable delivery packaging scheme tackles the great waste-creating practice of discarding envelopes and boxes that people receive in the mail. Consumers find the former especially difficult to reuse or recycle once the opening has been torn.

The solution is the RePack System, which presents three different reusable and resealable parcels that are made from durable materials. Manufacturers and distribution companies can opt to keep stocked with these eco-friendly snail mail sacks, giving their e-commerce customers the option of ordering goods in a greener fashion.

Retail products like clothing, books and other goods can be received in this reusable delivery packaging. Upon reception, empty the tote, fold it up, and then send it back free of charge. Once returned, the consumer will get a refund on a tiny deposit made for a RePack parcel.
Trend Themes
1. Reusable Delivery Packaging - The trend towards reusable delivery packaging presents an opportunity for businesses to reduce waste and increase sustainability.
2. Eco-friendly Shipping Solutions - The rise in eco-friendly shipping solutions provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for manufacturers and distribution companies to meet consumer demand for greener packaging options.
3. Circular Economy Initiatives - Circular economy initiatives, like the RePack System, create opportunities for businesses to implement sustainable practices and encourage consumer participation in recycling and reusing packaging materials.
Industry Implications
1. E-commerce - The e-commerce industry can benefit from implementing reusable delivery packaging systems to improve their environmental footprint and appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
2. Retail - The retail industry can capitalize on the reusable delivery packaging trend by offering eco-friendly packaging options to their customers, enhancing their brand image and customer loyalty.
3. Manufacturing - The manufacturing industry has an opportunity to develop and produce innovative reusable packaging materials and solutions, driving sustainability and reducing waste throughout the supply chain.
