How to turn every single-use package into a reusable solution.
Welcome to The Package Loop, the world’s first open marketplace for the free exchange of boxes and mailers, transforming single-use packages into multi-use solutions. Created and powered by the reuse experts at LimeLoop, it couldn’t be more simple: You get a package. You open it and remove your goods. But now, instead of breaking it down for recycling or chucking in the trash (no judgment), you scan a little QR code and easily post it on the Package Loop community app. Next thing you know, you get a notice that someone will take it. Sweet. Or you discover you can take it to a participating retail location that doubles as a collection spot. Or you work out a way to swap it with someone who has a different box you want. Use the Package Loop every time you get a box or mailer, or save up a bunch and post ‘em when you have 10 or 20.
It may sound immodest for us to say, but The Package Loop is an idea whose time has truly come. A recent study revealed that somewhere around 93% of all single-use boxes and mailers were structurally sound enough to be used at least four times. All we have to do is strip off the old labels, re-tape ‘em, and set ‘em back out there to do their jobs again. And again. The Package Loop fosters this obvious action. And makes it feel damn good.
If you’re a company, you’ll be a member of Package Loop because it gives you a super simple way to be part of the solution toward fixing the single-use conundrum. Imagine giving every box or mailer you send into the world a chance to be used again. Imagine each package you ship working to inspire loyalty, save you money and build a bridge toward your company’s fully circular packaging future. Now stop imagining it, and be part of it. Because we’re ready for you.
If you’re a consumer, you’ll use the Package Loop because you’ve had enough of the guilt that comes with knowing that, even when we do recycle our boxes and mailers, most actually aren’t. And even if they are, it takes crazy amounts of energy and resources to turn them into toilet paper or whatever. Plus you’ll get points and earn credits with member companies every time you use it.
The way we see it, the LimeLoop Package Loop program is a win win win. Shippers win with free boxes and mailers. Companies win by being part of the future, building loyalty, earning real “eco-cred” and saving against their shipping bottom line. Consumers win by feeling empowered, exchanging what used to be a source of guilt into a source of sustainability. All in all, The Package Loop abides. Let’s give it a try, shall we?
