Finalist De Gouden Noot 2024 Boxobag

Boxobag by BOXO

Every day, over one million parcels are sent to customers in the Netherlands, with the majority (>75%) using disposable cardboard boxes. This leads to millions of single-use boxes and bags ending up in waste streams. Targeting this given, BOXO developed a reusable shipping package (Boxobag) and a return system (BOXO Return) for the Dutch e-commerce market, socially responsibly produced in and from Dutch waste. The Boxobag can be loaded with a deposit through its unique QR code. Through a diverse network of drop-off points it is subsequently returned via BOXO Return to be reused by online stores.

The Boxobag is designed for shipments from online stores: the design focuses on the most commonly shipped items, such as books, clothing, shoes and health products. BOXO Return is a white label return network for reusable shipping packaging, which can be used by web-shops and product manufacturers with their own reusable shipping packaging.

The pack design allows the Boxobags to be folded and compacted; up to ten folded packs can fit inside one. This enables efficient collection at drop-off points, similar to returning a crate of beer. This setup allows BOXO to make the return logistics of reusable shipping packaging efficient, competing with disposable cardboard boxes in terms of price and convenience.
