Après la restauration, Pandobac s’attaque à la grande distribution
法国初创公司Pandobac正将其可重复使用包装系统从餐饮业拓展至大型零售领域。这家成立于2018年的企业已与家乐福、Franprix和Monoprix等零售商建立合作，旨在减少一次性塑料包装的使用。
Pandobac的系统基于标准化可折叠塑料箱，通过数字化平台管理租赁、清洁和物流循环。公司联合创始人兼首席执行官Béatrice de Mahieu表示，其解决方案能帮助零售商降低包装成本达30%，同时减少碳足迹。目前，Pandobac在巴黎、里昂和马赛运营着三个清洁中心，并计划进一步扩展。
这一扩张正值法国《反浪费法》逐步实施之际，该法律明确设定了减少一次性塑料包装的目标。Pandobac已获得450万欧元融资，投资方包括Shift Project创始人和一批商业天使。公司数据显示，其系统每年可帮助避免使用超过100万个一次性包装，客户包括餐饮企业Big Mamma和零售商Franprix。
随着大型零售商面临日益严格的环保法规和消费者压力，Pandobac的B2B可重复使用包装模式可能成为法国零售业供应链转型的重要推动力。公司计划继续扩大服务网络，以应对不断增长的市场需求。
Pandobac, the French startup specializing in reusable packaging systems for the food industry, is expanding its focus from the restaurant sector to large-scale retail. Founded in 2019, the company has developed a circular logistics service where durable, standardized containers replace single-use packaging for fresh produce, meats, and other goods. Its model involves collecting, cleaning, and redistributing these containers via a shared network.
Having established itself with over 3,000 restaurant and foodservice clients in France, Pandobac is now launching a major initiative targeting supermarkets and their supply chains. The company recently secured a partnership with a leading national retail group to pilot its system across several stores. The initial phase will involve replacing disposable packaging for fruits, vegetables, and butchery products with Pandobac's reusable crates and trays.
Key to this expansion is the company's recently closed €8 million funding round, led by the impact fund Ring Capital with participation from existing investors. This capital will finance the deployment of new washing hubs and logistics infrastructure necessary to serve the high-volume retail sector. "The challenge in retail is one of scale and integration. We must seamlessly insert our reusable containers into existing supply chains without disrupting operations for distributors or suppliers," explained the company's co-founder.
Pandobac's system tracks each container via RFID, ensuring traceability and optimizing rotation. The company claims its containers can be reused over 100 times, significantly reducing plastic waste. The move into large-scale distribution represents a strategic shift to address a much larger source of packaging waste. If the retail pilot proves successful, Pandobac plans a broader national rollout, positioning its reusable model as a practical alternative to single-use packaging in the mainstream grocery sector.
