Kamupak

We regret to inform you that Kamupak's journey will come to an end 💔 All the way leading up to this day we have had a strong hope that we could solve our financial situation and be able to continue our mission to create circularity in take away packaging and reduce single use waste. It has now unfortunately been clear to us that we are forced to take this difficult decision. We are eternally thankful to all the customers, users, partners, investors, ex-colleagues and others who supported and trusted us over the years, and sad and sorry that this is how the story ends 😥 The Kamupak team is very proud of the work that has been done to promote circulation and most importantly to reduce single use packaging. We hope that the circular motion will continue stronger than ever and that we have inspired others to continue this important work that is more relevant than ever, but for our part it is now time to say goodbye 👋 . Sincerely, Kamupak Team 💚

Clear, rigid plastic boxes, cups and clamshells 6. Some plastic and paperboard packaging 7. Compostable serveware https://lnkd.in/dpFYxJUg

✍ History in the making ! The EU Parliament voted yesterday on the Packaging Waste Regulation. By 2023, the target is that 10% of take-away packaging in the EU will be reusable, which in practice means around 3.5 billion portions per year. 💚 Very good news for Kamupak, other reuse operators, circular economy and above all, for planet A 🌍. #reuse #circulareconomy #savingplanetA #theresnoplanetB https://lnkd.in/dM_tn_pA

We at Kamupak still believe in #Reuserevolution. "The EU Commission wanted reusable containers to replace disposable cups and boxes." The packaging industry lobbyists were really strong and made EU decision makers to almost forget the actual problem: increasing single-use packaging waste." "The EU Commission has estimated that packaging waste could increase to 240 kg per person if nothing is done." Something has to be done! However, we are optimistic and despite the "David&Goliath" situation we'll stay strong and will change the world together with our customers, users, partners, industry organizations and competitors! #reuse #circulareconomy #davidandgoliath #staystrong Kamupak's founder Iida Miettinen at Yle news today (in Finnish)!

This is amazing! Kamupak and &Repeat combined have 120k users in 🇸🇪 and 🇫🇮 and counting. 1️⃣ Technology is key to making the circular economy a widespread part of consumers' daily lives. However, technology must facilitate Reuse such for example in takeaway food - not create hassles or inconveniences.  2️⃣ AI will contribute to revolutionising circular economy processes, in particular by facilitating consumer adaptation to reuse. 3️⃣ At Kamupak, we also believe that data is at the heart of everything in order to expand reuse and create a reuse ecosystem that is beneficial, profitable and positive for the environment. Data can be used not only to assess environmental impacts but also to optimise re-use processes and reduce their environmental impact. We at Kamupak create tomorrow’s reuse platform today.

85% of Kotipizza’s customers are interested in using reusable pizza boxes to deliver their pizza to their door. Consumers’ adaptation to reuse, legislation and taxation of single-use packaging are key to scale up reuse in food sector.

Target 2030, based on PPWR proposal by Trilogy 💚 ca 3.5 billion* single-use take-away packages will be replaced by reusable packaging (10%) in EU member countries. But... 🥤 ca 32 billion* single-use packages are still consumed every year in EU member countries 2030 and onwards (90%) Meaning... 153ktons* waste from single-use takeaway cups every year 1136ktons* waste from single-use takeaway meal boxes every year This is a clear statement to move from linear economy towards circular economy and a great opportunity to Kamupak's impact and business! But should the targets be more ambitious? Any thoughts? #reuse #recycle #circulareconomy *ref. making europe transition to reusable packaging -report by zero waste europe May 2022

Kamupak's fouder Iida Miettinen is a reuse pioneer on the cutting edge. "In reuse, and in many other areas of the circular economy, it is vitally important that regulators are bold enough to support the emergence of a new market. As long as reuse is entirely voluntary, as it is in Finland, change is a long and difficult road." Read the Kamupak's founder story and Iida's insights on transformation from linear economy to circular economy (in Finnish). #reuse #circulareconomy #ppwr https://lnkd.in/gTa358s4

"Kaisa the whale was happy. She was living a comfortable whale life in the Mediterranean. Kaisa had also recently found a happy partner. And so a new generation of sperm whales had begun. But suddenly, Kaisa began to feel sick. So badly that she passed away. Kaisa washed up breathless on a beach in Porto Cervo, Sardinia. 22 kilos of plastic waste were found in the whale's stomach. Mostly disposable take-away packging. And a foetus in a state of decomposition." Unfortunately this is a true story. There will be more of these fates if we are not determined to reduce packaging waste and increase reuse. Trilogy that decides on Packaging and Packaging Waste Regualation in EU has a big responsibility to set strict targets for packaging waste reduction. 💚 This story is also now shortlisted in corporate responsibility category for a best radio spot by RadioMedia ry in Kaiku Gala 13th of march 2024.

Thank you mr. Nils Torvalds, Member of the EU parliament, for visiting Kamupak HQ Maria 01 today! Great discussions with Kamupak's founder Iida Miettinen about reuse and circular economy, shaping the future image of reuse and the criticality of digitalisation in the reuse infrastructure enabling scaling, environmental impact and as well as economical efficiency. Our message covered the benefits and effectiveness of reuse in reducing packaging waste and the need for clear guidance and commitment from the EU for a systemic change from linear economy to circular economy. Our two brands, Kamupak in Finland and &Repeat in Sweden are paving the way making reuse a part of people's daily life. #reuse #circulareconomy #sustainability #impact #trilogy
