Sustainable packaging and paper firm Mondi has partnered with European e-commerce company MODIVO to help switch the latter from the standard rigid packaging to a new sustainable packaging solution.
According to Mondi, the partnership is intended to develop a line of eCommerce-friendly packaging solutions.
The paper firm will help supply a combination of corrugated boxes and paper-based MailerBAGS to protect and transport fashion items across Europe while improving efficiency.
MODIVO currently supplies its collection of shoes, bags and clothes in rigid packaging.
Mondi analyses the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and considers each supply chain touchpoint when analysing a customer’s packaging needs.
The core of Mondi’s distinctive EcoSolutions methodology, which is focused on the needs of the customer, is rigorous consideration of all viable solutions.
Mondi Group eCommerce director Nedim Nisic said: “We don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution. Each customer has a unique product mix with different logistics requirements.
“When partnering with a customer, our focus is on decreasing total packaging costs, reducing waste, and meeting end-consumer needs.
“This means our customers can choose the packaging solutions that will be of most value to them, from kraft and functional barrier paper, to paper bags through to corrugated solutions.”
Since their package portfolio was optimised for MODIVO depending on the products transported, most orders now use MailerBAGs, the paper firm said.
Three types of these fully recyclable and reusable paper bags are offered to protect things without adding too much air during transportation.
MODIVO official Łukasz Boguszewski said: “Mondi was able to improve our packaging considerably and support us in reaching our sustainability goals.
“The Mondi portfolio offers solutions that are fit for purpose, using less space and material, while still protecting the goods on their way to our customers.”
