Px, let's think outside of the box

For sea- and air freight we use reusable containers. But over 600 million internet purchases per year are packed in one way carton boxes?

In Px nine small companies have aligned. Our mission is to design a circular flow of sustainable, re-usable packaging for E-commerce. We are based in Eindhoven. We would like to prove that economic activity does not have to come at the cost of our natural resources. By re-using the same Px.

Should packaging ever end as waste?

Px was born with one thought: What if we start all over and develop transport packaging with the aim to minimise its effects on our valuable natural resources? What if we build a circular flow instead of a product which is used once and then thrown away?

The future is re-use. Again, and again and again.

In our nature waste always has a function. One system feeds the other. Would we also be able to create transport packaging which leaves little or even no waste behind? The European government supports this idea. In 2030 10% of all transport packaging needs to be reusable. In 2040 this goes up to 50 percent. But what do you think? Are you going to join Px?
