The Schoeller Group, which specialises in reusable systems, and the logistics service provider Fiege have founded the joint venture Multiloop, which develops reusable shipping packaging for e-commerce.
A joint venture: The Schoeller Group and Fiege, together with Leif Erichson, former President Europe of the fashion brand Esprit, and the serial founder Elias Kuby, have founded the joint venture Multiloop, which focuses on durable and reusable shipping packaging made of recyclable, water-repellent polypropylene. One Multiloop reusable box replaces an average of 30 disposable cartons and saves up to 86 per cent CO2 in. At the end of their life cycles, the packaging is recycled and used to manufacture new multiloop boxes.
„Our motto is reuse before recycling - simple, affordable and suitable for the masses. The end customer only pays a deposit, which is of course 100 per cent refunded when the packaging is returned. Our strategic differentiation from the competition is our convenient return system with 15,000 planned return points in supermarkets, petrol stations and kiosks. Our packaging is logistics-optimised and there is virtually no implementation effort for online retailers. With Multiloop, we are also relying on an attractive pay-per-use model that every online retailer can afford.”
