RePack is a packaging service which enables the return and reuse of delivery packaging for online retailers and their users.[1]
The service and packaging is designed by Plan B From Outer Space Oy, a Finnish company focused on sustainable product and business model solutions.[2]
How it works
By choosing RePack as the online order's delivery packaging, the user will receive the goods in a returnable and reusable RePack packaging. This packaging can be returned to reuse by dropping it to a local letter box.
Once the RePack has been registered as returned, the user will receive a digital voucher. This voucher can be used towards future purchases from RePack-supporting online stores. A single RePack can be reused, on average, 20 times.[3]
RePack is supported by online stores such as Frenn, Globe Hope, Makia, Pure Waste, Varusteleka and MUD Jeans.[4]
The return rate of RePack's products has reached 95%.[5]
Awards
In October 2013 RePack was awarded "Pactec 2013" innovation prize by the Finnish packaging association.[6]
In January 2014, RePack was awarded the Fennia Prize.[7]
In September 2014, RePack won the Green Alley startup competition in Germany.[8]
In November 2014, RePack finished fourth in Slush 100 pitching competition for startups.[9]
