Reusable packaging in a closed packaging loop

Interzero, one of the leading service providers for closing product, material and logistics loops, uses reusable boxes from the Munich start-up hey circle in order to reduce waste and save CO2 emissions in parcel shipping.

Every year, the circular economy service provider Interzero refurbishes around 300,000 used IT and communication devices to give them a new life. Since the beginning of 2023, Interzero has been using hey circle's reusable shipping boxes for the take-back and dispatch of smartphones, tablets and hard drives.

Shipping without single-use cardboard: reuse saves resources

Interzero organises every step of the refurbishment process, from purchase through to reuse. Using the hey circle reusable shipping solution saves further resources. The company's major customers praise the boxes for their environmental benefits and their sturdiness.

The hey circle Box L and Box XL are in use, with their patented folding mechanism and a fully closed body with theft protection. The boxes are designed for 50 cycles, have been tested to a stacking pressure of 150 kg and can be loaded with up to 12 and 15 kg respectively. The CO₂ saving was determined by the independent environmental consultancy Ökopol.
