The Hidden Cost of Business as Usual

LLDPE stretch film is not just an environmental hazard—it’s a financial and operational liability.

  • A Financial Headache:Single-use wrapping carries a staggering mid-case lifecycle cost of €0.99 per unit when factoring labor, disposal costs, storage, operational expenses and taxes.

  • The Margin Erosion:As commodity prices and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees rise, "throw away" logistics is no longer a fixed cost, cutting into your bottom line.

  • Regulatory Nightmare:EU mandates and PPWR are turning sustainability into a legal requirement.

Morden Logistics Need a Modern Solution

At HeroPAK, we don’t view single-use packaging as a problem; we see it as a supply chain failure. For decades, logistics operators have chosen single-use as a cheap and ineffective way of securing their loads. Resource consumption and damaged goods was seen as a “cost of doing business. “

HeroPAK was launched to be the guide to help you exit the "take-make-use-waste" cycle of one-way packaging. We handle the load containment, the maintenance and the logistics of reusable packaging, so can move what matters to your business.

Three Pillars of Transformation

Financial Predictability

Stop fluctuating film prices and unpredictable waste management surcharges in their tracks. HeroPAK provides a flat-rate, predictable cost structure that makes budget forecasting a breeze.

PPWR Compliance

Don’t wait for the 2030 deadline to search for a solution. Our reusable systems are designed to meet current PPWR frameworks, ensuring your logistics operation remains unharmed.

Operational Oversight

Logistics operators can’t manage what isn’t measured. Our PaaS model includes performance reporting that tracks the lifecycle and efficiency of your packaging, providing all the relevant data that PPWR requires.

Your 3-Step Roadmap to Circular Logistics Packaging

Upgrading to a circular system is easy with HeroPAK. We handle the technical integration so you can focus on moving your business forward.

Step 1: Schedule Your Packaging Audit

 "Identify the Hidden Costs of Waste"

Schedule a packaging audit to uncover the financial and environmental leaks in your logistics operation. We analyze your LLDPE film usage, labor inefficiencies and upcoming PPWR compliance risks to develop a custom packaging roadmap.

Step 2: Seamless Integration

"Deploy a Managed Pilot Program" 

Leave the hard work to us. Our team designs and prototypes your custom packaging before deploying units into your existing fleet. After a real life pilot phase, we analyse the data and report back on 8 measurable metrics.

Metrics of Success.

Logistics Efficiency: Real-time data on trip times, idle assets and loss-prevention risks.

Direct Procurement Savings:Immediate reduction in stretch film and single-use packaging expenditures.

Waste Management Optimization: Significant savings in the labor and cost of processing soft plastic waste.

Risk Mitigation:Data on reduced inventory shrinkage and decreased damaged-stock and re-wrap incidents.

Financial Resilience: Reduced exposure to fluctuating plastic costs, taxes and CO2-related carbon pricing.

Environmental ROI:Verified CO2 savings and a clear "environmental breakeven" point for your fleet.

Labor Productivity: A direct comparison of "Time-to-Secure" vs. Conventional wrapping methods.

Occupational Safety Metrics:Improved workflow ergonomics, worker satisfaction and a reduction in manual handling incidents.

Step 3: Fleet Rollout

"Enjoy Zero-Waste, High-Efficiency Logistics"

We stage the roll out of your logistics packaging to ensure minimal interruptions to your operation. On-site training and real-time analytics ensure a smooth transition and measurable savings from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Insights & Implementation: Transitioning to Circular Logistics

Is a reusable system cheaper than stretch film?

While stretch film has a low purchase price, its Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is significantly higher. Factoring labor hours, waste management surcharges, EPR tariffs, plastic and CO2 taxes and other operational expenses, the "hidden" cost of single-use load containment really adds up.

In markets like Austria, securing a single roll container with film averages €0.99, whereas HeroPAK’s service starts at €0.33 per trip. Beyond cost, sticking with single-use film exposes your business to the rising financial risks of non-compliance with upcoming EU mandates.

How much does HeroPAK cost and are there hidden fees?

HeroPAK operates a Packaging-as-a-Service (PaaS) model, meaning there is zero CapEx (Capital Expenditure). Instead of purchasing hardware, you pay a guaranteed and predictable OpEx (Operating Expense).

HeroTRAK (Visibility): From €0.033 per unit / day.
HeroPAK (Circular Service): From €0.33 per package / trip.

A one-time Deposit Fee covers your initial logistics audit and custom prototyping; this is typically credited back to your account during a full-scale rollout. Maintenance, repairs, and updates are all included in your base fee.

Will switching to reusable packaging disrupt our warehouse operation?

No. We utilize a staged rollout strategy to ensure your logistics flow remains uninterrupted.

Our hardware is designed for seamless integration with your existing roll container fleet without proprietary tools or additional storage requirements. Because ClickLOK is installed directly to roll containers, it is up to 90% faster to secure your goods than traditional stretch film, increasing operational throughput and reducing safety risks to staff.

How does HeroPAK ensure PPWR readiness and compliance?

HeroPAK is engineered to meet the strict requirements of the PPWR. Our system ensures you are aligned with Article 29, which mandates reuse targets for transport packaging are achieved by 2030. Furthermore, our HeroTRAK platform automates the mandatory reporting required under Articles 30 and 31, providing audit-ready data on reuse rates, rotations and loss prevention.

What operational visibility and data do we receive?

Through our dashboard, you gain real-time visibility across your entire logistics network.

Asset Tracking: Monitor location and usage cycles of roll container assets.
ESG Reporting: Access customized data such as plastic diverted and CO₂ saved per trip. These metrics are designed to be exported directly into your corporate sustainability or Scope 3 emissions reports.

What happens if units are damaged, lost or need repairing?

Full lifecycle management is baked into the service fee.

If a HeroPAK unit is damaged during normal operation, we handle the repair or replacement at no additional cost to you. Our integrated IoT tracking also serves as a robust asset protection system; sending alerts for "idle" or "lost" containers, helping you eliminate fleet shrinkage.
