Learn more about this initiative

Our mission is to proactively address the environmental challenges associated with the intensive use of single-use packaging in e-commerce. We adopt a holistic approach that covers all stages of the packaging lifecycle - from design and production to the effective recovery and reuse of packaging.


The initiative is part of the National Network of Test Beds programme, funded and supported by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), which guarantees financial and technical support, essential for developing sustainable solutions and implementing traceability technologies.


This support allows us not only to develop environmentally responsible packaging, but also to collect and provide relevant data on its use and reuse, in order to create a feedback loop that improves our solutions and drives innovation in the sector.
