RePack News

Our partner Fashion For Good released a very, very important case study for reuse in e-commerce. We gather the main findings in this blog post, but we also strongly recommend that you read the 42 pages too! So far, there’s been a lack of in-depth, external case studies on reusable packaging, to help brands, retailers and consumers make informed choices. 

At the same time, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce is expected to reach 40 billion (!!!!!!) deliveries per year in Europe in 2029. The USA experienced the same level of e-commerce growth in the second quarter of 2020 as it had over the previous 5 years.

This growth twins with a skyrocketing demand for virgin raw material, and generates a crazy, never-seen-before amount of trash. 

Spring is in the air, and it feels like it might be the end of this ever-lasting-covid-tunnel. We’re not epidemiologists or other virus detectives, but we do wonder what this return to normal means for the climate. 

In our big fat ambition of reducing our carbon footprint, we want to develop shorter cycles for our RePacks, so that they can be managed more closely to the brands and consumers (re)using them.

As a first attempt to do so, we partnered with the largest postal company in France, La Poste, for what we call The French Loop! Read on, it's honestly exciting.

Is it what a mojito looks like? More cucumber-ish? Call it what you want, but it certainly is funky. And we like funky.

What do Stacy Abrams, Willie Nelson, and RePack have in common? All three will be featured at South by Southwest, which is streaming entirely online to be enjoyed from the comfort of our own homes, or really the venue of our choosing--think couch, sauna, a dark closet where your kids won’t find you? Call it what you want, but online events certainly are convenient.

The year 2020 was supposed to be the “Annus Mirabilis” of fashion sustainability. Then the pandemics turned our worlds upside down. But all is not doom and gloom! Tons of actors around the globe are fiercely trying to change fashion for the best. We're very very proud to be the winner of the Loomish's Fashion Innovation Award, sustainable retailling category! 

To celebrate the end of this crappy year, we've curated the best gifts to help you check everyone off your list - available in trashfree RePacks.

From 4.99€ to 600€, presents for you mates, family, and everything in between.

After very successful pilots in 2019 (we wrote a story about it here), we re-designed our RePack to fit with the American market. Then, 2020 happened. Riots, fires, elections, covid.. outch.

We couldn't have picked a tougher year to launch in North America. It has been challenging at time (read: bloody hard) BUT we're really freaking happy to still be on track and to kick-off the launch with brands that are more than ready to get rid of trash.

“We can’t wait.” 

According to CBC Canada, more and more Canadians are really fed up with the lack of action on the growing packaging pollution, and dead-serious about getting rid of garbage. Good news: In October, RePack will be available everywhere in Canada.

At RePack, we teamed up with some of Germany's biggest e-commerce players, Otto, Tchibo & Avocadostore. We are joining forces to declare war on trash and revolutionize the way we shop. All under the same flag: PraxPACK.
