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.
Is there a plastic solution in your community
that you'd like us to profile? Shoot us an email
at in...@storyofstuff.org and
they may get added to our list!
Bon
weekend,
