Packaging Innovation: optimised packaging that reduces waste.
As a team we are seeking for appropriately sized, recyclable packaging that reduces waste and guarantees safe delivery without any damages.
Reduces Waste & Packaging
At our core, we believe that waste is a byproduct of inefficiency, and our ongoing mission is to eradicate it throughout our entire business. This commitment extends to the waste generated during our operations and the waste associated with packaging and retired products from our users. Our approach involves driving innovation, leveraging efficient design principles, and optimizing operations that reduces waste altogether.
Additionally, we actively facilitate programs that empower our users to repair, resell, recycle, and repurpose their products, contributing to a circular economy and further reducing overall reduces waste.
Minimise waste & carbon emissions
Through a science-based approach that integrates lab testing, machine learning, materials science, and collaborations with manufacturers, we continuously strive to revamp and streamline our packaging choices.
When additional packaging becomes necessary, we prioritise lighter and appropriately sized options that reduces waste and carbon emissions, all while ensuring the safe delivery of products. We make conscious efforts to incorporate materials that can be easily recycled at curbside and have a reduced carbon footprint. Additionally, we engage in partnerships with industry peers to develop and expand solutions throughout the entire packaging supply chain.
Minimal waste, maximum protection

Reducing Waste and Packaging
Aligned with the SDGs, we're champions of reduces waste reduction and sustainable packaging. Our innovative practices promote responsible consumption and production, contributing to a greener, more equitable future.
Waste produced from our internal operations
We are actively working to reduces waste within our operations
In our daily operations, non-inventory waste includes items like used office furniture, corrugate, and break room waste. Inventory waste comprises heavily damaged products, irreparable customer returns, unsafe food, unused non-food inventory, and goods unsuitable for donation or wholesale. We also consider waste from construction activities and supply chain waste by third-party suppliers. For more insights on our waste management approach, refer below.
Noninventory Materials
Non-inventory waste is a byproduct of the materials utilised in our day-to-day business operations.
Inventory
Inventory comprises items that have been returned by end-users, damaged during handling, or are in excess due to overstocking.
Food
In our efforts to combat food waste, we give top priority to optimizing product selection, management, and distribution systems to minimize excess inventory.
