Our impact, so far

The packaging waste problem

Waste is a big problem for the planet and one that we want to help solve. Packaging waste is a big part of the problem, with 860 million tonnes of packaging waste produced globally every year and in Europe, each person produces 173 kg annually. We believe that reusing packaging is the solution because it reduced natural resource use and lowers CO2 emissions of packaging use.

Our impact profile

We are committed to continuously use innovation and creative thinking to minimise our own and our partners’ footprint. Here you can read about all the things we are working on and the journey we have ahead of us to continuously improve.

Packaging materials and design

When designing our packaging we follow a number of guiding principles. We take a holistic view to designing packaging that considers the entire system to achieve the best outcome, including emissions from production, responsible sourcing, recyclability after life and logistic flows.

Designed to be used, washed and handled as many times as possible

Monomaterial to ensure that it is easily recyclable at the end of its life

Optimized for efficient logistics and washing

Fully recyclable at the end of its life

Wash and sanitation

We are constantly working on various R&D projects to bring down the use of energy, chemicals and water with our washing partners. Our overall guiding principle is to guarantee the given hygiene and sanitation standards with the minimum amount of resources used.

Energy source and efficiency, aiming for facilities powered by renewable energy

Water usage and efficiency, aiming for minimal water input e.g., by use of cold wash where possible

Use of bio-based detergent and avoidance of harmful chemicals

Delivery and return

We work with various partners to minimise the impact of delivery and return in both line-haul and last mile transportation.

Mode of transportation favoring bikes and electric vehicles whenever possible

Optimization of logistic routes, optimized truck loads and using spare capacity
