Think outside the box and
help shape the packaging agenda of DPDHL!
The world of packaging is changing : Customers are increasingly interested in packaging innovations, our operations are facing more and more packaging related challenges and there is an increasing awareness of negative packaging related impacts on the environment. This is why Trend Research, Shared Value and Start-up Lab have joined forces to launch the first internal theme specific challenge, focused on packaging.
The goal of the DPDHL Packaging Challenge 2019 is to identify meaningful packaging opportunities within DPDHL in order to jointly increase our operational efficiency, improve sustainability or improve customer experience.

NEED SOME INSPIRATION?
Today consumer shopping behavior is continuously shifting from offline to online. People order everything online, including things that were never meant to be shipped. Waste from packaging materials is harming our environment at an accelerating pace. There is more to packaging than just wrapping and protecting goods during transportation.
“As the needs of our customers, operations and the negative effect on our planet evolve at an increasing pace, now is the time to exploit new technologies and materials as well as explore new business opportunities in terms of packaging.”
Thomas Ogilvie, DPDHL Board Member HR
