More and more players in the industrial laundry sector are looking to reduce their environmental impact by limiting single-use packaging. Switching to a reusable laundry bag is becoming a concrete, sustainable, and cost-effective solution.
In this context, DEPAIRON, a company already deeply involved in reusable packaging throughout its entire logistics chain, agreed to test the Loopipak reusable bag for the transport of professional laundry.
Smooth integration into existing logistics flows
The field test was conducted in real-life conditions, across several customer deliveries, for the transport of ventilation ducts, system filters, and other specific needs. The bag was handled by five different people:
from packing to delivery, including route preparation and the driver.
💬 "Good overall adoption, no improvements needed at the moment."
- No adjustments were required in sorting, storage, or return processes.
- No specific return logistics were needed.
- A simple reminder to the driver is enough to ensure the bag is returned.
Ergonomics, cleanliness, and durability validated
The teams evaluated the reusable transport bag as:
- Easy to handle (opening, closing, carrying)
- Durable, with no signs of wear after several cycles
- Clean: a quick wipe is enough, and no glue is needed thanks to the integrated label pouch
DEPAIRON uses only the designated label pocket, avoiding any use of glue or stickers.
Simple and effective awareness
A clear message was added directly on the bag:
"Please return this bag on the next round and do not place dirty laundry inside."
This small addition was enough to ensure proper use and smooth circulation of the bags among all teams.
A consistent approach to circular logistics
Testing the Loopipak bag is fully in line with DEPAIRON’s sustainable logistics strategy.
The transition to a reusable laundry packaging was implemented seamlessly, in continuity with their existing efforts to reduce waste and improve their environmental footprint.
