PackAge+ has cooperated with supermarkets and major shopping channels to set up more than 4,700 collection points, and cooperated with Da Fon Environmental Technology to design supply chain circular packaging, trying to solve the problems of online shopping and supply chain packaging materials through a circular packaging system.

Packaging materials are mainly considered disposable, resulting in the generation of a large amount of waste and carbon emissions. According to statistics from the Ministry of Environment, there were 220 million pieces of online shopping packaging in 2021, generating 57,000 tons of waste and 78,000 tons of carbon emissions. To this end, PackAge+ has proposed a circular packaging system as a solution to the disposable packaging problem and to promote resource efficiency.

Effortless recycling with added social benefits

PackAge+ has cooperated with four major supermarkets, including FamilyMart, chain stores, and independent stores to establish more than 4,700 packaging collection points for recycling across Taiwan. Consumers can return reusable packaging to any collection point after shopping. These packaging are collected and sent to cooperative workshops run by social welfare organizations for cleaning and reusing.

Replacing disposable packaging materials in the technology industry for various major applications

In terms of supply chain packaging, Taiwan generates 10.7 million tons of packaging waste and 5.6 million tons of carbon emissions every year. PackAge+ cooperated with Da Fon Environmental Technology to design a service model for circular packaging in the supply chain, using “environmentally friendly recycled packaging” made from waste plastics in the technology industry to replace carton and delivery plastic bags.

▪ So far, this circular packaging model has reduced 1,106,582 kilograms of carbon emissions and 276,646 kilograms of disposable packaging waste.

▪ The packaging cleaning program supports the employment of 90 disadvantaged groups every month, and the company currently cooperates with as many as 10 small workshops.
