Identification

Petrel supports retailers and manufacturers in their transition to a circular management of their packaging.

Popularized before the 1980s and then overshadowed by the massive use of single-use and disposable plastic, the deposit system, brought up to date by the Loop project, created a disruption in modern consumption patterns. In addition to protecting the environment by reducing plastic waste, the deposit system offers innovative, high-quality and sustainable packaging. With a Zero Waste as a Service solution, Petrel is integrating Loop project within Carrefour. Petrel's mission is to supervise the reverse logistic of packagings, manage the customer refund and provide customer support. Furthermore, Petrel also supports a mission of social inclusion. It developed and managed returnable bags that are checked, cleaned, folded and counted by inmates in prison as part of a reintegration program. These bags are then returned into Carrefour warehouses in order to be reused. These circular processes are able to be applied within many BtoB / BtoC manufacturers and retailers.

Implementation Stories

Petrel Circular e-Commerce by Petrel
Implemented by Carrefour in (France) in 2019

Carrefour, a French retail and wholesaling company, adopted the Solution for all its stores in France. Since March 2019, a program has been developed by Petrel to reuse Carrefour food e-commerce bags. As part of a reinsertion project, Petrel collaborated with two prisons in Paris suburb to gather the used bags from the delivery men in order to check them, clean, fold and send them back to Carrefour warehouses for reuse purpose.

Result

100,000 bags reused per month which corresponds to a 10-ton plastic bags reduction
