The Idea
AVOID - SHIFT - IMPROVE...
… is the strategy to make mobility in Europe more sustainable.
While the bicycle industry is developing faster than ever before and bicycles become faster, lighter, more functional and more technical, the cardboard box in which the bikes get delivered, has not changed.
The world is on a massive trend to become more sustainable and to reduce CO2 emissions. Bicycles are rated one of the greenest means of transport and are reducing the CO2 emissions when used instead of a vehicle.
So the development of a circular model to transport bicycles in a reusable box is not only a good idea – it is long overdue.
How it works
REDUCE - REUSE - RECYCLE
We offer a circular bike packaging system that works on a "pay-per-use" system. So instead of purchasing a single-use cardboard box that has to be recycled after being used - you "lease" a reusable BikeBox. Once the box reached its 'end-of-life' we will take it back, recylce it and automatically replace it with a new one.
Our BikeBoxes are foldable which makes them extremely easy to handle, store and return.
MINIMAL changes in the logistics process:
Box assembly -> Packing and Shipping of bike -> Unboxing -> Folding the Box -> And we take care of the return.
Our BikeBoxes
ASSEMBLE - USE - FOLD
The original BikeBox was developed for air travel out of the need for a strong, lightweight, waterproof but inexpensive box. This Travel Box was developed with the focus on foldability to address the challenge to load a BikeBox in a small vehicle or any other confined space.
This original BikeBox won the EuroBike Start-Up Award in 2019 and has since been used to take 100s of bikes around the globe.
AVOID - SHIFT - REUSE....
Our BikeBoxes are robust, reusable and foldable – the sustainable solution for shipping bicycles - not once, but over and over again.
But why invest into BikeBoxes? Noone needs to OWN a BikeBox - all you need is to USE one. So why not test our Pay-per-Use business model.
But BikeBox PRO is more than just a reusable packaging solution for bikes: We also offer a complete circular shipping system, including return and incentive processes supported by a cloud-based IT platform.
The bike industry is booming - in Europe alone 20 Million bikes get shipped annually - each in a single-use cardboard box. That equates to 80 000 tons of cardboard and 75 000 tons of C02 Carbon Footprint. In order to produce the relevant amount of Cardboard boxes, 1.2 Million trees have to be cut annually - which equates to an area of 4000 soccer fields.
Circular Logistics i.G. has created a circular, sustainable and Award winning packaging solution for the bicycle industry. By applying a circular model we will extend the life of bicycle packaging through multiple reuses and recycling.
