1. Analyze

A) Flow analysis:

Objective: Loopipak analyzes a logistics flow to identify opportunities for transition.

What Loopipak does:

L'analyse se porte sur :

• Types of packaging used
• Shipping volumes and frequencies
• Logistical constraints
• The organization of internal and external flows
• Packaging costs and waste management

Deliverable: Overall summary of the assessment

B) System design:

Objective: Based on the assessment, Loopipak recommends the most suitable packaging system

What Loopipak does: there are two possible approaches:

• Standard system
• Custom system

2. Test

Objective: To test the system under real-world conditions and validate its economic and environmental performance prior to a larger-scale deployment.

What Loopipak does:

A) Implementation of the pilot project:

Loopipak helps teams set up a fully operational pilot ready for use in real-world conditions, including:

• An initial batch of packaging deployed on a designated production line
• A defined testing protocol
• Trained and coordinated teams
• A streamlined logistics process
• Signage and operational materials are in place

Deliverable: a real-world scenario ready to generate operational evidence

B) Feasibility study:

Loopiak performs a comparative analysis between:

• A linear logistics system based on single-use packaging
• A circular logistics system based on reusable packaging

In many cases, reusable solutions become cost-effective after several dozen uses. In certain logistics flows, some solutions reach their break-even point after as few as 35 uses.

C) Environmental Analysis

Loopipak is conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) comparing the reusable solution to single-use packaging.

The analysis makes it possible to assess:

• CO2 emissions
• Resource consumption
• Overall environmental impacts

The results enable companies to incorporate this data into their CSR strategies or carbon footprint assessments.

Result: Operational, economic, and environmental validation of the system: This second phase enables the company to validate the cost-effectiveness of reusable solutions prior to any large-scale deployment and to make an informed investment decision based on real-world operational data.

3. Deploy

Objective: Deploy the reusable system across the entire logistics chain and ensure long-term performance.

What Loopipak does:​

A) Support for large-scale deployments:

Extension of the system validated during the pilot project to the entire relevant logistics process.

Scope

• Expansion of the reusable packaging system to the entire organization
• Incorporating lessons learned from the pilot project
• Determining the size of the packaging inventory
• Integration into existing logistics processes
• Team support

B) Monitoring of indicators:

• Return rate
• Rotation speed
• Loss rate
• Shelf life of packaging

C) Optimization and logistics:

• Adjusting the number of packages
• Optimizing Returns
• Improvements to signage
• Team-building tools

D) Maintenance and repair:

Since Loopipak packaging is designed to be repairable:

• Parts Replacement
• Repairs
• Extended service life

Preventive maintenance and repairs can be scheduled to keep the packaging in good working order.

Maintenance and repair procedures (frequency, organization, responsibility, costs) can be determined in consultation with the customer based on operational needs.

The result: a fully operational and optimized reusable packaging system that sustainably reduces the use of single-use packaging.
