1. Material collection:

The life cycle of a Loopipak packaging solution begins long before manufacturing. 

The raw material comes from used advertising banners. These banners, often used for temporary campaigns or events, are usually destined for incineration or recycling. 

Loopipak organizes their collection to give them a second life as sustainable logistics solutions. 

This step transforms potential waste into a valuable resource. 

2. Material sorting and preparation :

Once collected, the banners go through several steps: 

• Material sorting 
• Cutting 
• Surface preparation

The objective is to select the parts with the best properties for logistics packaging: strength, durability, and ease of use. This phase is essential to ensure product quality. 

3. Packaging design :

Each Loopipak packaging solution is designed for a specific logistics flow.

The design takes into account: 

• Dimensions of the products
• Logistical constraints 
• Ease of use 
• Durability

In many projects, a prototype is first developed to test the packaging in real conditions, followed by a pilot phase and then large-scale production. 

4. Manufacturing in adapted work enterprises :

Loopipak packaging is produced in adapted work enterprises. 

These organizations enable: 

• Local production
• Inclusive job creation 
• Flexible, tailor-made manufacturing

This collaboration is a core part of the Loopipak model, combining environmental and social impact. 

5. Use within logistics flows :

Once produced, the packaging enters its usage phase. 

It can be used for: 

• Transport of goods
• Internal logistics (between workshops, warehouses, or sites)
• Shipments between sites or to customers

Unlike disposable packaging, Loopipak packaging is designed for multiple uses. Each rotation replaces a single-use packaging. 

6. Collection and reuse :

After use, packaging is collected for reuse. 

Depending on logistics organization, this can happen: 

• During next deliveries
• Through existing logistics flows
• Via centralized collection points

This circulation allows multiple rotations within the logistics system. 

7. Repair to extend lifespan:  

Like any logistics equipment, packaging may experience wear over time. 

At Loopipak, packaging can be repaired when needed. 

Repair allows:

• Extending lifespan 
• Reducing the need for new materials
• Improving overall environmental impact 

8. End of life of the packaging:

After many uses, packaging eventually reaches its end of life. 

At this stage, materials can be directed to appropriate recycling streams. However, the goal remains the same: maximize usage before this stage.
