For a limited time, Returnity has announced that it is offering a free pilot programme for qualified B2B shippers operating repeatable distribution and replenishment flows, aiming to combat increasing prices for corrugated packaging.
Apparently, companies that begin a pilot within 30 days and advance to broader deployment within 60 days of pilot completion will qualify for preferred reusable box leasing terms. The pilot builds on Returnity’s efforts to support reusable packaging systems for closed-loop B2B shipping operations, including reusable shipping workflows developed for FedEx B2B shipping environments.
The company says that previous pilots and current deployments help retailer replenishment, internal facility transfers and reverse logistics programs across North America. Participating shippers have reported faster unpacking, reduced disposal labour, improved backroom organization and lower product damage rates.
Returnity adds that companies interested in evaluating reusable packaging can learn more or schedule a pilot assessment through its website.
“Corrugated pricing volatility continues to create operational and financial pressure,” comments Mike Newman, CEO of Returnity. “Reusable packaging is a straightforward solution for many of the shipping patterns that already exist within retailers’ day-to-day operations. Switching to Returnity’s cost controlled reusables allows retailers to lock in savings, insulates them from pricing volatility, and gives them one fewer headache to worry about.”
In January a major retail chain adopted Returnity’s reusable solution, The Last Box, in a move hoped to streamline backroom operations and cut down on single-use waste. The Last Box is designed to withstand multiple stages of operations through distribution centres and stores including inbound deliveries, internal transfers, order staging, and restocking.
More recently, online print shop Flyeralarm collaborated with packaging return network Reuse.Me to bring approximately 1 million A4 shipping boxes into its closed loop system, aiming to keep the packaging in circulation several times before it is recycled. Flyeralarm says paper and cardboard was chosen for the packaging as it is a renewable raw material with high recyclability.
