Identification

RePack is the first reusable and returnable deposit based packaging as a service concept for the global e-commerce industry with a built-in loyalty program.

Repack simply replaces single-use delivery packages in ecommerce with reusable and returnable delivery packaging. This innovation results in substantial benefits for the environment, the online retailers and society. The solution is a reusable packaging service for ecommerce whereby delivery packages can be easily returned, and then reused. Users simply return their packaging by post in letter size or directly to RePack using store, free of charge. Once returned users get an automatic reward for their behaviour as a voucher, which can be redeemed at any participating RePack store. The packaging can be used at least 20 times and this reusable packaging service removes packaging waste and reduces CO2 by up to 80 % compared to single-use packaging.

Implementation Stories

RePack by RePack
Implemented by Decathlon in Brossard (Canada) in 2021

Decathlon Canada tested the Solution with a 3-month subscription for 700 bags. Its 9 Canadian stores switched to deliver 100% of click & collect orders in reusable packaging. In this closed-loop model, bags are handled internally, as it is integrated in the existing reverse logistics. RePack provided Decathlon a cleaning kit and instructions to ensure a quick cleaning process (necessary for less than 1% of the bags that needed cleaning). As each bag could be used three times in the month.

Result

6,300 single-use plastic avoided in 3 months + -95% shipping emissions compared to recycled kraft
