Circular Packaging Solution

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

Collaborating with one of their suppliers, this contractor has developed a solution to the packaging waste being produced on construction projects.

Ecopak is a modular system comprising inner and outer polypropylene packaging that can be reused multiple times, allowing for the packaging of mixed types of lighting product and comes with GPS tagging so products can be tracked digitally following delivery to enhance efficiency and reduce the risk of items being lost.

When packaging is used it is collapsible and can be returned to the supplier for re-use (up to 12 times). Once the packaging has been used 12 times the material is fully recyclable, creating zero packaging waste on the site.

Using this system meant that two tons of packaging waste were avoided on this project.
