In 2018, a total of 13.5 billion packages were shipped in the United States — that's a whole lot of single-use plastic packaging. Companies like RePack are beginning to offer an innovative new business model, leasing reusable bags to retailers that sell goods online. Using a service like RePack can save up to 80% of CO2 emissions from shipping and reduce packaging waste by 99%.
RePack is already working with nearly 300 companies, including big brands like Volcom and Decathlon. Programs like this are real, effective solutions to the single-use plastic crisis. Creating products that cut down on plastic consumption and save companies money is a solution that benefits both people AND the planet.
