Dispatch Goods optimizes cold chain packaging through a circular logistics model —- think about bringing back the "milkman." Companies work with Dispatch Goods to launch returnable cold chain packaging programs (ice packs, insulation, tote bags, boxes, etc) so that a consumer can set packaging out for returns, and it's easily whisked away to be processed for reuse. By creating returnable packaging programs for businesses delivering perishable goods, and the vast amount of packaging needed to maintain temperature, including meal and grocery, prepped meals, and now pharma, Dispatch Goods creates a beloved user experience and reduces waste and cost for the brand. 

Notable Achievements

  • Over 6 million items replaced from the waste stream to date
  • Successfully launched profitable operations in two markets
  • 25,000 households regularly returning cold chain items

Currently Operating in One Region
