A while back, I discussed the urgent need for innovation in the packaging industry (check out my previous post here: Link). Since then, I've explored the startup landscape and identified several promising reusable packaging options. While the transport packaging and Food2Go sectors are becoming increasingly competitive, there's still a significant opportunity for growth in pre-packaged solutions, offering FMCGs reusable packaging that they can fill at the factories and consumers grab from the shelves. Currently, Loop is leading the charge internationally, but there's ample "grey" space for new entrants. To enhance the document and while we are continuing to look at the topic further, I'm calling on all angel investors, VCs, PEs, corporates, and startups to share any other companies offering reusable packaging solutions. #Consumer #PackagingInnovation #StartupGrowth
