Our Commitment

---

What it means:
Fendr eliminates the need for disposable cardboard boxes, plastic wrap, foam fillers, and other single-use materials traditionally used in courier and shipping.

Why it matters:
The global logistics industry discards over 120 billion single-use packages every year, much of it either unrecycled or contaminated by adhesives, tapes, and mixed plastics. These materials clog up recycling streams, overflow into landfills, and pollute waterways with microplastics. As e-commerce continues to grow, so does the mountain of disposable packaging waste.

Fendr’s impact:
Each Fendr box is designed for 500+ reuse cycles, directly replacing hundreds of single-use shipping boxes over its lifespan. By shifting to a reusable model, courier companies, retailers, and e-commerce platforms can reduce packaging waste by up to 95% per shipment — saving costs, improving sustainability metrics, and building customer loyalty through greener shipping.

What it means:
Fendr reduces CO₂ emissions tied to the manufacturing, disposal, and frequent replacement of traditional packaging.

Why it matters:
A single-use cardboard pharma box has a carbon footprint ranging from 0.3–0.6 kg CO₂ per unit. Multiply that across millions of shipments, and the emissions add up rapidly.

Fendr’s impact:

• Our lightweight inflatable insulation reduces fuel usage in transport.
• Circular return logistics reduce the need for raw material extraction and re-manufacturing.
• Over 500 reuse cycles, one Fendr unit can reduce up to 150 kg of CO₂ emissions, compared to single-use equivalents.

What it means:
Fendr replaces the linear take-make-dispose model with a closed-loop system that prioritizes reusability, tracking, and return.

Why it matters:
Pharma has lagged in circular design due to strict safety and regulatory requirements. Fendr proves that compliance and circularity can coexist.

Fendr’s impact:

• Each box is traceable via a digital ID or RFID for lifecycle monitoring.
• Our rental + return model ensures packaging comes back for cleaning, recertification, and reuse.
• This system supports Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws and upcoming EU digital passport regulations.

What it means:
Fendr significantly reduces the amount of low-grade plastics and foam that enter waste streams from traditional shipping materials.

Why it matters:
Polystyrene (EPS) foam, bubble wrap, and film plastics commonly used in courier and e-commerce packaging are non-recyclable in most regions. Once discarded, they often end up in landfills or escape into waterways, where they break down into microplastics and threaten marine ecosystems, wildlife, and coastal environments. With global shipping volumes rising, the plastic footprint of disposable packaging is becoming a critical sustainability challenge.

Fendr’s impact:

• By replacing foam and plastic fillers with sealed, recyclable, and repairable inflatable chambers, Fendr prevents thousands of cubic meters of plastic waste from entering oceans and landfills each year.
• Our modular, repairable design extends the usability of each unit while minimizing environmental leakage.
• Over hundreds of reuse cycles, each Fendr box cuts down waste and plastic consumption, helping logistics providers and retailers transition toward a circular, low-impact shipping system.

What it means:
From materials sourcing to end-of-life recovery, Fendr is committed to conserving raw materials and promoting regeneration across the logistics industry.

Why it matters:
Traditional courier packaging consumes vast amounts of virgin paper, water, and fossil-based plastics. With rising e-commerce volumes, the pressure on forests, freshwater systems, and fossil fuel reserves continues to grow. Recycling rates remain low, particularly for soiled or mixed-material packaging, which often ends up in landfills despite being theoretically recyclable.

Fendr’s impact:

• Incorporates recycled and recyclable materials into all non-inflatable components of our packaging.
• Pursues a zero-landfill policy through structured return and recovery services that extend product lifecycles.
• Plans to reinvest a portion of future revenue into ocean clean-up projects and biodiversity offset programs, ensuring that sustainability gains go beyond packaging itself.

By reducing reliance on virgin materials and actively supporting regeneration, Fendr helps reshape logistics into a model that works with — not against — the planet’s natural systems.

At Fendr, we believe packaging should protect more than just the products inside — it should protect the future. Our mission is to help the courier and logistics industry shift to a packaging system that meets the highest standards for performance, efficiency, and environmental integrity.

Through smart design, traceable reusability, and ecosystem-minded operations, Fendr enables couriers, retailers, and e-commerce platforms to reduce costs, strengthen sustainability, and deliver measurable value with every shipment.

We are not just building better packaging — we’re building a platform for responsible logistics, circular innovation, and long-term ecosystem health.
