💡 📦 Did you know that 30% of the environmental impact of online retail business is attributed to shipping packaging? 📦 🚮
Yes, that's a lot and isn't it crazy to throw away packaging that is actually perfectly fine? But unfortunately, there is usually not enough space at home to store all this packaging for later use and therefore - we usually just throw it all away!
And in order to live up to our own sustainability standards, this is exactly where we get started now. Saying we, we mean our HOMEBASE venture team!
Reusable packaging saves up to 80% of CO₂ emissions compared to disposable packaging. A single piece of packaging can be reused up to 50 times. It is made from recycled polypropylene and, when it is too old or broken, is fully recycled in a single-sort process. 📦
Who is our partner? We are working with the Hamburg-based start-up Boomerang® which has not only developed very practical mailing bags, but also a clever logistics concept.
As a Corporate, but also as a start-up, we feel responsible for our planet. It is important to use resources carefully and think about every possible solution to reduce our carbon footprint.
Curious about the concept? Then just get in touch with our HOMEBASE team Christoph Hacker Stefanie Grahl! Great, HOMEBASE team, that you have now launched the pilot for your webshops!
