Simplifying packaging and ending waste

By now most of us know the experience. We click the “order” button online to buy the product we have selected, but when it is received we are gifted with the box it comes in and the protective material it comes with.
You then have to sort the materials apart and assign it to its proper disposal bins in order to reuse as much of the material as possible. This process time consuming and difficult, not only for the receiver, but also for the sender.

Imagine being able to remove the aspect of single use materials and thereby both the complications it brings for the company shipping its products and the person receiving the product.
We at NOPAK have chosen to devote our time to develop, in collaboration with our partners, a container that both safely and space efficiently holds the ordered product during transportation – and most importantly, it can be used again and again and again…

How does Nopak work?
Your products are packed and shipped in a Nopak
After receiving your products, you return the empty Nopak by either handing it back over to the delivery personal instantaneously (upon delivery) or handing it over at your local drop-off point – for free
The Nopak will be reused in future deliveries – reducing waste and reducing CO2 emissions

About Us
Our story – brief / intro
Two newfound friends, a New Year’s Eve and a common passion for discussing and solving contemporary problems combined with an entrepreneurial itch… this is the recipe for an ambitious journey to disrupt the postal and parcel industry.
The dream
Maybe it was the fireworks in the sky, the repeated New Year’s feeling of “this year will be my year” or a mixture of champagne and gin-tonics, but as the first hours of the year passed, our talks of challenges and solutions led to hopes and dreams for the future.
Only five months later Sebastian texted Frederik with an opportunity. He wanted to apply for a grant related to the UN sustainability goals with the idea of creating the most efficient, durable and reusable parcel package the world has ever seen – a dream of disrupting the postal and parcel industry.
