Packzero
PackZero is a reusable packaging system for online retail delivery. The inflatable package protects products during shipping and deflates automatically when opened. The package is made of durable biodegradable material that research estimates can be used up to 100 times. Three package sizes are offered. Users return each package to a collection bin placed in subway stations, campuses, offices and other public spaces, where a pedal and a roller flatten and compress the package for transport. Central hubs are set in places people visit often, which reduces total delivery distance.
