Royal Mail facilitates Movopack reusable packaging rollout in the UK

Movopack, an Italy-based company specialising in circular packaging solutions, has raised £2 million ($2.53 million) in seed funding to support its expansion into the UK market. The move marks a critical step in its mission to tackle e-commerce packaging waste.

The funding round, led by 360 Capital, included contributions from Greiner Innoventures and Techstars. This financial boost comes as the EU sets ambitious targets for e-commerce sustainability, requiring 10% of e-commerce packaging to be reusable by 2030, rising to 50% by 2040.

Movopack provides cost-effective solutions for e-commerce retailers looking to meet these regulations while addressing consumer demand for environmentally friendly practices. Its reusable packaging is made from recycled materials, including plastic bottles and polypropylene, and is designed for durability, withstanding up to 20 uses through the postal system.

The UK rollout leverages Royal Mail’s extensive network of 115,000 post boxes, making returns convenient for consumers. This expansion reflects the growing interest among British retailers in sustainable practices to align with environmental objectives and consumer expectations.

Tomaso Torriani, CEO and co-founder of Movopack, said: This funding round demonstrates the growing enthusiasm for Movopack's potential to transform the e-commerce industry with sustainable, circular packaging solutions.
We're particularly excited about this investment as it enables us to launch in the UK at a time when the demand for sustainable solutions has never been stronger. Consumers and brands alike are seeking impactful ways to contribute to a world where societies and economies can grow and thrive without compromising the environment - and we are here to meet that need.
At Movopack, we're working on making sustainability not just an option, but a standard in e-commerce.

Movopack’s innovative approach positions it as a key player in the shift towards circular economies, particularly in the e-commerce sector.
