Reinventing ways to deliver sustainably.
Eradicating the use of plastic packaging
in the e-commerce chain for a greener
online shopping experience.
why we built the
retaso pouch system
The surge of e-commerce shopping has brought
drastic effects on our environment which has urged
us to reinvent ways to deliver sustainably through
circular design innovation and a system to
reduce plastic pollution.
behind the system
Our particular team was bonded by our passion
for the environment, and circular innovation
to address the country's plastic pollution.
Our different backgrounds - from creative design,
to marketing, to engineering led us to the
Retaso Pouch System idea.

frequently asked questions
1. Will the pouch be given to the customers/online shoppers?
No, the Retaso Pouch will not be kept by the customers. Only the item ordered will be handed to the customers. After the delivery, the Retaso Pouches will be kept by the rider, to be sanitized so it can be used again. This is to avoid introduction of new plastic pouches.
2. How huge can this impact the plastic consumption in the courier industry?
Using 5,000 Retaso Pouches/month for 1 year, would reduce 1.07 tons or 60,000 pieces of plastic pouches from the landfill/ocean. Around, 73 gold bars or 1 live oak tree for weight comparison.
3. Why is this mission critical?
Online shopping has seen a surge of adoption during the pandemic, and with it comes an increase in use of plastic packaging and bubble wraps. This contributes to the already dire plastic pollution in oceans and landfills.
To address this, we wanted to shift away from the linear single-use packaging system of couriers and shift towards a circular system that uses reusable packaging.
4. How did we involve circularity in our project?
The pouches that no longer serves its purpose due to its limited shelf-life, would then be disassembled and re-used either as a padding or as an outer layer of the pouch. All the materials that we will gather will stay in the circular system, preventing it from polluting our environment.
5. Will the pouches undergo sanitation?
Yes, we have designed a sanitation process that was verified by a microbiologist and a sanitary engineer. This will ensure the safety of everyone that will be utilizing our services.
