About

Zipback is an innovative reusable packaging solution for package shipments of all types, whether internal, external, or customer orders. The packaging is designed from recycled materials such as used cement bags and event tarpaulins. They can be reused thanks to a process based on the circular economy and an agreement we have with the Post Office. This solution makes it possible to replace plastic and cardboard in packages, which are harmful to the environment. In addition, we work with several foundations and NGOs for the production and logistics of our packaging, which generates a positive social impact. Once the Zipback packaging is received, it can be folded compactly using an integrated system, making it easy to drop off in the nearest mailbox. As soon as we receive it, we recondition it for reuse, thus promoting more sustainable and circular management of packaging. We are also working on a solution to have better end-of-life management and give them a third life.
