The Ocean Package

Our Reusable Packaging

The shipping box of the future!

Discover our innovative reusable shipping packaging that combines environmental protection with forward-looking technologies! With our sustainable packaging solutions, we take a strong stand against single-use packaging and actively contribute to reducing plastic waste in our oceans. Each of our packages incorporates “ocean-stopped material”—a decisive step to halt plastic pollution at its source.

"From e-commerce to intralogistics: our reusable packaging perfectly adapts to the needs of closed-loop systems – reducing waste and optimizing shipping. The ideal solution for companies looking to combine sustainability with efficiency."

What Makes Our Packaging Special?

1. Circular Economy

Our reusable packaging offers a sustainable and resource-efficient alternative to conventional single-use cardboard. Unlike traditional cardboard, often discarded after a single use, our Ocean Package reusable packaging can be reused up to 20 times. This reduces raw material consumption and significantly decreases waste. In fact, we contribute to reducing the ecological footprint by an impressive 95% and lower CO₂ emissions by up to 80%.

At the end of their lifecycle, the packages are returned to us, recycled, and transformed into new reusable packaging. This keeps materials within the cycle, prevents packaging waste, and supports a sustainable future.

Rental Systems

In e-commerce, the trend has been moving towards renting instead of buying for several years. Many rental systems have emerged in sectors such as children’s toys, where our reusable packaging is in high demand.

One of our most successful clients is Tribu, a well-established company in the German market. Tribu rents children’s toys in two- or three-month intervals and has been using our eco-friendly reusable shipping packaging for over two years. Our robust and stylish packaging is often repurposed by customers for storage and sent back to Tribu at the end of the rental period. After internal processing, Tribu can immediately reuse the packaging for the next customer. This system becomes financially advantageous for Tribu after just three shipments, allowing us to easily replace single-use packaging with reusable alternatives.

Subscription Systems

Subscription systems also offer significant potential for reusable packaging. Over the years, we have conducted pilot projects in this area with several clients. We focus on businesses offering regular subscription deliveries.

For example, in the food sector, customers can have weekly grocery deliveries in reusable packaging, reducing or eliminating the need for weekly shopping trips. With one of the largest providers in the DACH region, we developed a reusable shipping package that can be immediately retrieved by the delivery driver. The packages are then cleaned and reused. During the pilot project, we achieved a 50% reduction in packaging waste. This is another successful example of replacing single-use with reusable solutions.

Exchange Systems and Partnership with UPS

One of our most exciting and recent projects is the use of reusable packaging in exchange systems, where their benefits far outweigh those of single-use options.

We have partnered with UPS, which offers a collection system and collaborates with major technology companies. These companies operate exchange systems for telecommunications and hardware products. For example, Vodafone replaces defective Wi-Fi routers with new ones, sending the replacement router in a reusable package. The customer returns the defective router in the same package. This demonstrates how single-use can be replaced with reusable packaging, setting a great example of sustainability.

Intralogistics

In intralogistics, goods are often transported from producers to individual branches and logistics centers. These processes frequently involve a hidden loop system, where reusable packaging can be seamlessly integrated. The packaging is sent back and forth between branches and production sites, conserving valuable resources that would otherwise be consumed by single-use cardboard.

Replacing single-use with reusable packaging is particularly effective here, as it doesn’t require changes to established processes—only the packaging material itself needs to be swapped.

2. Materials – Recycled Plastic & Ocean Stopped Material

Our packaging made from recycled polypropylene combines durability with resource conservation – a sustainable, long-lasting alternative that saves water and closes the recycling loop. Our packaging is made entirely from polypropylene, with approximately 70% of the material being recycled. Of this, 20-30% is Ocean Stopped Material – plastic collected near coastlines before it enters the ocean.

Why did we choose plastic? Polypropylene offers the stability and durability necessary for reliable reusable packaging. Furthermore, its recycling process is particularly resource-efficient, as the material can be easily melted down and reused.

Plastic packaging is not only more durable than cardboard but also outperforms it in recycling. Polypropylene can repeatedly re-enter the recycling process, saving valuable resources. While up to 50 liters of water are required for recycling one kilogram of paper, the water consumption for plastic recycling is negligible.

3. Sizes and Customization

Our reusable shipping packages are both eco-friendly and visually appealing. Choose from a wide range of custom, sustainable designs and sizes. Each package is designed to be functional and stylish, taking every step toward a more environmentally friendly future.

4. Shipping and Monitoring

Our advanced monitoring software is specifically designed for reusable packaging. It allows you to manage packaging efficiently in real-time while maintaining full visibility of its location and condition. Detailed reports and insights into customer usage and shipping behavior enable you to streamline logistics processes and enhance customer satisfaction.

Our software ensures maximum transparency and control throughout the entire lifecycle of your reusable packaging, significantly contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions and packaging waste.

That’s how easy our reusable packaging works!
