What is Loopipak?
Loopipak is a game-changer in the world of packaging. It’s all about reusable packaging crafted from upcycled advertising waste — think used banners and real estate signs transformed into durable, eco-friendly covers and boxes. This innovative approach replaces single-use packaging like plastic stretch film and cardboard, drastically cutting down waste and pollution. Every product is carefully cleaned, cut, and assembled by social enterprises and sheltered workshops, blending quality craftsmanship with a strong social impact. Plus, Loopipak doesn’t just stop at making packaging; it performs life cycle analyses tailored to each client’s needs, ensuring accurate carbon impact calculations. Warehouse visits help identify new opportunities daily, adapting solutions to fit the unique demands of various industries. And to top it off, there’s a simple tracking system that lets clients monitor and manage their reusable packaging with ease.

How Loopipak Supports Circular Logistics
Loopipak offers an economical, ecological, and reliable solution for circular logistics. The reusable pallet covers and packaging products are designed to protect goods optimally in all situations, complying with European PPWR regulations. The local production model creates inclusive jobs and ensures traceability and repairability, extending the product lifespan. This circular approach means less waste, less handling, and fewer losses — a win-win for businesses and the environment alike.
Customization and Client-Specific Solutions
One size doesn’t fit all, especially when it comes to packaging. Loopipak’s custom-made eco-designs are tailored to each client’s unique needs. Through detailed warehouse visits and client-specific life cycle assessments (LCA), Loopipak identifies the best reusable solutions to reduce waste and costs. This hands-on approach allows for multifunctional packaging that fits perfectly into existing logistics processes, making sustainability practical and effective.
Upcycling and Local Production
At the heart of Loopipak’s mission is upcycling — turning raw materials from advertising waste into high-quality packaging. This not only diverts waste from landfills but also supports local economies by creating jobs in social enterprises and sheltered workshops. The entire production process is local, ensuring transparency, traceability, and a smaller carbon footprint. It’s a full-circle model where waste becomes a resource, and social impact goes hand in hand with environmental responsibility.
