MIWA Technologies are working alongside Nestle to co-create a waste-free shopping experience piloting reusable and refillable dispensers for petcare and soluble coffee, as part of an effort to reduce single-use packaging. MIWA’s smart, reusable packaging Solution offers an entire business ecosystem for smart-powered reusable packaging which enables distribution and sale while minimizing single-use packaging.
With MIWA’s innovative solution, the material used for packaging is reduced by as much as 90%, significantly cutting down on waste and resource consumption. This dramatic reduction in packaging material leads to a 46% decrease in the carbon footprint compared to traditional packaging practices. By optimizing the use of materials and minimizing environmental impact, MIWA’s solution not only supports sustainability efforts but also offers a more eco-friendly approach to packaging in various industries. This shift to more efficient packaging practices is a key step towards reducing overall environmental harm while maintaining product integrity.
Plastic waste from the food retail sector is a huge challenge, both for land and water pollution and for carbon emissions. MIWA technology aims to minimise waste from the single-use packaging of food, non-food and liquid products. MIWA is a smart reusable packaging, built as an integrated hardware and software solution. MIWA reusable packaging works in tandem with unique electronic dispensers placed in retail and the MIWA information system operating in the Cloud, with the connectivity allowing for near-real-time data flows. MIWA packaging and dispensing shelves are equipped with RFID chips and readers, offering substantial opportunities to all value chain stakeholders to enhance efficiency and product/consumer safety and outperform the effects of the current single-use dominant approach. Life Cycle Assessment study shows that MIWA can reduce the overall negative environmental footprint by up to 71%, material usage waste by up to 90% and carbon footprint by 46%. Within the first 5 years MIWA plans to prevent up to 20,000 tons of packaging waste while still reaching only a fraction of the EU market.
