Being able to use packaging several times should be a matter of course, but this is unfortunately not the case in the installation industry. Drums from us at Axjo Group are currently designed and developed to be used up to ten times in different circular systems.
The products can be dismantled and any broken parts can easily be
replaced during the product’s lifetime. The group currently offers a
widespread take-back system for cable drums in Scandinavia. Our
subsidiary, Drumster Group, provides an app-based tool through which
the pick-up of empty products may be ordered by means of the cell
phone’s geographical position.
Drumster Group also
provides smart returns through several drop-points where the
installer can return the drums. The drums are transported by full
trucks to our return hubs. After reaching our return hubs, the
products are inspected and customers receive a deposit based on the
condition of the products. This is not just a financially good deal
for customers; the reduction in waste results in multiple
environmental benefits. In accordance with a circular process,
broken parts are ground down and reintroduced into Axjo’s compound
to create new products. Outside Scandinavia, similar systems are run
with partners in, for example, Germany and Switzerland.
