Description

A parcel system and a method designed to decrease material consumption by using reusable packages
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a parcel system and a method designed to decrease material consumption by using reusable packages, which are designed to be recycled at the end of life.
Background of the Invention
Today, almost all packages sent in parcel systems are single-use cardboard packages. Cardboard can be recycled. However, it is very energy consuming to recycle cardboard. Recycling cardboard is comparable to producing new cardboard. Furthermore, in most cases, the cardboard must be recycled after a single use.
Packages today are further fitted with analog tags. The analog tags may typically include a receiver address, a sender address, a QR code, and/or a barcode.
It may seem trivial, however, the analog tag and tape should preferably be removed prior to recycling the cardboard in order to not decrease the purity of the cardboard.
There is an increasing focus on reducing waste and the waste generated by parcel systems are ever increasing as more and more people order packages over the internet. However, presently no one has been able to provide a parcel system which is able to both reuse and to recycle packages without increasing costs beyond a viable level.
Thus, there is a need for a parcel system, which is capable of reusing packages and increase the recycling rate of the packages.
Object of the Invention
It is an object of the invention to provide a parcel system and method designed to decrease material consumption by using reusable packages, which are designed to be recycled at the end of life. Description of the Invention
An object of the invention is achieved by a parcel system for sending and receiving reusable packages. The parcel system comprises a plurality of reusable packages being in circulation. The reusable packages comprise
- an item compartment for storing items to be delivered,
- a lid releasably connected to the item compartment and being adapted for providing access to the item compartment,
- a tag compartment releasably holding a reusable electronic tag; and
- the reusable electronic tag comprising
- a storage module comprising a package ID and a delivery address,
- a communication module, such as Bluetooth Llow Energy (BLE), adapted for communication with third party devices and for receiving updates of the delivery address,
- wherein the item compartment and/or the lid are made of plastic, or metal, or a composite.
The parcel system comprises a server adapted for keeping track of the plurality of reusable packages. The server comprises
- a server storage module comprising the package IDs, and the delivery addresses linked to the package IDs; and
- a server communication module adapted for communication with third party devices for receiving data related to the reusable packages and for receiving updates of the delivery address from the third-party devices.
The parcel system comprises a recycling shop with an associated recycling shop address, the recycling shop is configured for recycling at least the item compartment and/or the lid.
In the parcel system, the reusable electronic tag and the server are adapted to set the delivery address to the recycling shop address upon instructions received from a third- party device relating to a specific package ID. The reusable package comprises the item compartment, which item compartment is configured for containing the item to be sent from one location to another location inside the item compartment. The lid is configured for releasably sealing the item compartment, and the reusable electronic tag is releasably positioned in the tag compartment.
The item compartment, the lid, the tag compartment, and the reusable electronic tag is all a part of the reusable package.
The reusable packages are reusable by being made of a sturdier material than for example cardboard material. This enables the reusable packages to be reused several times such as used more than 500 times or more than 1000 times. This will reduce the overall energy consumption and carbon footprint since the reusable package is reused.
Each part of the reusable package may be made of a different or the same material as the other parts, however each part is made of a single material which allows for direct recycling when a part is removed from another part.
As an example, the item compartment may be made of plastic material and the lid may be made of a composite. Furthermore, the tag compartment may be part of the lid. Thus, by separating the item compartment from the lid, the item compartment is a pure material which can be used directly for recycling into a new item compartment. This is also called upcycling as the recycled item compartment is used for a new item compartment, i.e., the recycled item compartment is not downcycled into a simple plastic mat or similar.
The lid may comprise one or more lid parts wherein at least one lid part comprises a tag compartment configured for containing a reusable electronic tag. The reusable electronic tag may be able to slide into the tag compartment when at least one of the one or more lid parts is in an open position, thereby restricting access to the reusable electronic tag when the reusable package is sealed. The reusable electronic tag may be secured to the tag compartment using fastening means such as screws or click fastening. In an embodiment, the reusable electronic tag is inserted into the tag compartment through a tag compartment opening arranged on an upper face of at least one of the one or more lid parts.
The lid and item compartment comprise complementary shaped connectors configured for releasably interlocking the lid and the item compartment to one another. When connectors on the one or more lid parts are releasably connected to complementary shaped connectors on the item compartment, the releasably interlocked connectors may form a hinge.
In an embodiment, the lid may comprise a first lid part and a second lid part, wherein the first lid part and the second lid part comprise a complementary locking mechanism for interlocking the first lid part and the second lid part and securing an item inside the item compartment.
In an embodiment, the lid may comprise a locking mechanism, which locking mechanism further comprises a lock, such as a physical lock, an electronic lock, or a smart lock, configured for restricting unauthorized access to the item contained in the item compartment. The previously mentioned locking mechanism may also comprise a physical lock, an electronic lock, or a smart lock, for the same purpose.
All the parts of the reusable package, except for the electronic tag, may be constructed of a single material to enable efficient recycling because this enables that all the parts of the reusable package, except for the electronic tag, can be recycled directly into a new reusable package with a minimized degrading of the quality and without many steps of pre-processing.
The pre-processing may be steps of cleaning the parts to be recycled prior to the recycling step.
The third-party device may be a computer with a computer communication module complementary to the communication module of the reusable electronic tag. The third-party device may be a smart phone belonging to a worker in the parcel system or a user of the parcel system, such as a person receiving the reusable package. The reusable package may be damaged upon arrival, and the person and/or the worker may flag the reusable package for recycling.
The plastic may be chosen from AB S (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or PE (Polyeth- ylen) or PB (Polybutylene) or PC (Polycarbonate
The metal may be chosen from aluminium, or steel, or iron.
The composite may be chosen from carbon fibre, or membrane material such as Gore- Tex or a similar material.
In an aspect, the recycling shop may be configured for recycling the item compartment and/or the lid by molding a new item compartment and/or lid reusing at least part of the recycled item compartment and/or the recycled lid.
In the cases where the item compartment and/or the lid is made of plastic, the recycled plastic will be mixed with virgin plastics such that the new item compartment and/or the new lid is of higher quality compared to an item compartment and/or lid without virgin plastics, and as a result the new item compartment and/or the new lid can be reused more times.
In the cases where the item compartment and/or the lid is made of a metal, the recycled metal can be remolded into a new item compartment and/or a new lid and regain the same material strength as a virgin metal.
In an aspect, the parcel system may further comprise a cleaning shop with an associated cleaning shop address. The cleaning shop having the means for cleaning the reusable packages, wherein the reusable electronic tag and the server are adapted to set the delivery address to the cleaning shop address upon instructions received from a third-party device relating to a specific package ID. In some cases, the reusable package does not need to be recycled but only cleaned. Thus, the reusable package can be sent to a cleaning shop wherein the reusable package is cleaned and sent out into circulation once more. The need for cleaning will depend heavily on the type of items being sent with the reusable package. It is expected that food items will result in a higher need for cleaning than electronics or clothes.
The recycling shop and the cleaning shop may be the same shop as cleaning will typically be a step when recycling.
In an aspect, the delivery address can be changed to the recycling shop address and/or the cleaning shop address by any third-party device comprising an app adapted for communication with the reusable electronic tag and the server.
Thereby, the recycling or cleaning frequency will increase instead of a user removing the reusable package from circulation.
In an aspect, the lid may comprise the tag compartment. This will ease the recycling of the item compartment as the simple removal of the lid will make the item compartment recyclable.
The tag compartment thereby becomes an integrated part of the lid.
In an embodiment, the lid comprises a first lid part and a second lid part, wherein the first lid part comprises the tag compartment, and the second lid part comprises a locking mechanism for interlocking the first lid part and the second lid part and securing the lid to the item compartment.
The locking mechanism may further comprise a lock such as a physical lock, an electronic lock, or a smart lock, configured for restricting unauthorized access to the item contained in the item compartment.
In an aspect, the reusable electronic tag may comprise an E-ink display, and the lid comprises an aperture complementary to the E-ink display. Thereby, the E-ink display is secured to the lid and visible to any user or worker. This E-ink display is a bi-stable system which can replace analog tags by displaying the same information as an analog tag, such as a receiver address and/or a sender address, or other parts. Thereby, there will be no need to provide additional analog tags, which will have to be removed and cleaned regularly to place a new analog tag. This will further simplify recycling as there is no analog tags to remove, and both the item compartment and the lid are then recyclable by separating the item compartment, the lid, and the reusable electronic tag. Thus, this will reduce time needed to recycle the parts of the reusable package.
In other embodiments, the reusable electronic tag may use the communication module to wirelessly provide the same information as an analog tag or the E-ink display.
In an aspect, the reusable electronic tag may comprise a main body having an upper surface and one or more chambers milled into the upper surface, wherein the main body is made of a plastic or a composite, and the storage module and the communication module are positioned in the one or more chambers.
Thereby, the reusable electronic tag can at least in part be recycled by recycling the main body. The storage module and/or the communication module may be reused, depending on their wear, and if the modules can pass a service test.
In an aspect, the E-ink display may be connected to the upper surface. Thereby, the E- ink display can easily be removed by disconnecting the E-ink display from the upper surface.
The E-ink display may be glued to the upper surface.
An object of the invention is achieved by a method for recycling at least a part of a reusable package, where the reusable package is circulating repeatedly in a parcel system. The method comprises steps of
- updating the delivery address on the reusable electronic tag and the server to be the recycling shop address;
- receiving the reusable package with the reusable electronic tag at the recycling shop; - separating at least the item compartment from the lid, and optionally separating the lid from the reusable electronic tag;
- recycling the item compartment; and
- forming a new item compartment using at least part of the item compartment.
An object of the invention is achieved by use of an item compartment and/or lid from a reusable package in a recycling process and remolding a new item compartment and/or new lid, wherein the reusable package comprises
- an item compartment for storing items to be delivered,
- a lid releasably connected to the item compartment and being adapted for providing access to the item compartment,
