Also read: Survive the corona crisis: from growth to survival strategy The example: Pieter Pot A good example of this type of start-up comes from the Dutch retail market. This new supermarket shows major players how to bring plastic-free groceries directly to the customer, by rethinking the supply chain from the ground up. Pieter Pot delivers all items in glass jars, trusts the consumer and retrieves the jars (and gives a discount) when customers buy items again, for cleaning and reuse. This service is only possible because of the strong partnerships it has formed with delivery, customers and suppliers. It neutralizes its impact by drastically reducing plastic and cardboard waste and closing the loop with its own photo editor packaging. Since Pieter Pot started in 2019 from the university laboratories of Delft, it already has activities in the Netherlands, Belgium and more than 3 million euros in investments to scale up its activities. This trend is certainly not limited to retail. By 2022, we will see new, more sustainable business models emerging in every industry: finance, insurance, automotive, pharmaceuticals, you name it. Peter Pot website. Your action It is the end of 2021 and the beginning of a transformational decade. Sustainability goes from a nuisance to a necessity. It doesn't matter which industry your corporate startup is in: a sustainable DNA is demanded by your customers and you better have a plan. Create value and design with circular service models: reuse, repair, rent, remanufacture and convert waste into value.
