General information

Short Summary
A company from southeastern Poland specializes in the ecological processing of cardboard waste and preparation of reusing. By collecting waste paper in the form of cardboard boxes, the process is 100% manual and is fully eco-friendly. With the necessary permissions to manage waste, the company acts as a mediator between waste suppliers and recipients of finished products, ensuring their quick turnover. With its own transportation, the company ensures effective collections across the country.
Full Description
The company specializes in processing cardboard waste preparation of reusing. Tha company purchases waste paper in the form of cardboard boxes. This waste paper is then transported to the company's warehouses and processed - sorted, cleaned, and reintroduced to the market as a fully-fledged product - used cardboard.

Importantly, the entire processing procedure is not done in a traditional, mechanical way but is manually handled offsite. This process is, therefore, 100% eco-friendly. Appropriate waste management and processing decisions enable collaboration with entities for whom managing produced waste is a challenge.

At the same time, the law prohibits them from selling/transferring waste to unauthorized entities, even if the waste is physically fit for reuse. The company's activities are not limited only to waste processing.

The company also acts as a mediator between waste-producing companies (suppliers) and the end-users (recipients) of the product - used cartons. Seven years of experience and a broad customer base ensure a quick product turnover, preventing long-term storage and degradation.

The company has its own fleet of vehicles, ensuring fast and efficient waste collections throughout the country.

The sale of used packaging is conducted via its website and marketplace platforms. Main customers for used packaging are mail-order sales and distribution companies.

Used cartons are delivered nationwide through firm's vehicles or courier and logistics companies. Once prepared for reuse, the goods are placed on wooden pallets and readied for shipping.

Besides buying waste paper, the company also purchases cardboard boxes from warehouse stockpiles prepared for discontinued products, with manufacturing defects, or from bankrupt companies. This often saves boxes from being sold to paper collection points, where they would go to traditional processing plants for mechanical processing, ultimately being turned back into raw material for cardboard production.
Advantages and Innovations
The innovation of the company's project lies in its simplicity. The company plays a pivotal role as an intermediary in the Circular Economy operating across many businesses simultaneously. As the first company in Poland, launched an online store where customers can purchase used packaging at prices even 60% lower than new ones. The company helps new online stores grow.

Additionally, companies generating waste in the form of boxes can count on efficient collection from us, which we carry out with our own fleet of vehicles, as well as high rates for the waste, often several times higher than what traditional paper collection points offer.

Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner
The company is looking for two types of companies:

1.Entities generating large amounts of packaging waste in the form of cardboard boxes of consistent sizes. These can be importers, logistics centers, and production companies of various types that import semi-finished products or components for the production of the final product. During the production stage, individual/bulk packaging becomes waste for them.

2.Medium and large-sized online stores with a wide range of products of varied dimensions, as well as distribution networks. Moreover, we are interested in all companies that care about the fate of our planet and want to engage in the Circular Economy process.
We are in search of paper waste (waste code 15 01 01) in the form of cardboard boxes suitable for reuse. We are interested in consistent types/sizes of boxes, but their size, type, and specifications do not matter.
