Ideas for sustainable reusable packaging

Österreichische Post lives and breathes sustainability and has done for a long time. Österreichische Post was the first postal services company to guarantee its clients CO₂-neutral delivery, as early as 2011. Today, Österreichische Post supports the ideas competition "Re:Postboxing - ideas for reusable packaging." We have teamed up with the Graz-based company ISN - Innovation Service Network to look for ideas regarding the parcel packaging of the future. "Re:Postboxing" is all about finding ideas for the increased use of reusable packages to reduce waste from single-use packaging. Everybody can make a sustainable contribution and submit ideas. The sky is the limit for your creativity! The community voting is open until 15 August 2022!

During the years of the COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce reached new heights, and the parcel volume grew significantly. The same is true for the amount of single-use packaging that ends up in the trash after just a single use. In order to curb negative effects on humanity and the environnent, innovative solutions for reusing shipping boxes are needed.

Rethinking packaging

In the spirit of the concept of circular economy, packaging-related waste should increasingly be avoided and replaced by reusable parcels. What sustainable and eco-friendly ideas for multiple-use solutions for online orders do you have?

How can packaging become reusable?
How can reusable packages go through several delivery cycles?
How could people be encouraged to reuse parcels?
