The two companies Wildplastic and reuse.me have joined forces and developed a reusable shipping bag made from wild plastic. Their aim is to tackle two central problems of the global plastic crisis: the collection and disposal of wild plastic from the environment and the reuse of packaging in a closed cycle.

This involves collecting plastic that in countries without a functioning recycling infrastructure illegally disposed of in order to turn it into circular products. Together with local partners, Wildplastic collects plastic waste and processes it into new products.

This means that the shipping packaging is not disposed of after use, but reused several times through the reuse.me system, This means that less plastic ends up in the environment and valuable resources are saved.
The new reuse.me x Wildplastic mailing bag made from wild plastic is slightly thicker than conventional mailing bags and can be sealed with a Stickers that can be removed without leaving any residue can be reused for sealing. The envelope is currently undergoing test runs to find out, how many cycles it creates under real conditions.

As an incentive, reuse.me offers attractive rewards: In addition to smaller rewards, users can win an e-bike, train vouchers or even a year's supply of sustainable gold toilet paper, for example.
A cooperation for a clean future
