Fondazione Social Venture Giordano Dell’Amore

Aroundrs

Aroundrs is a Benefit Company that has created a technological platform for the reuse of packaging, capable of offering a simple and economical alternative to disposable packaging. The digital system (B2B Platform and mobile APP) was developed to adapt to all the needs of customers in the Horeca and GDO sector, allowing them to choose between different reusable smart packaging solutions with QRcode/Rfid technology. This service, active in our country, allows restaurants, canteens and clubs an alternative to disposable items. In fact, by guaranteeing the circularity of reuse and the tracking of the entire process, it allows us to enhance returnable packaging through the elimination of disposable containers from their activities. Furthermore, Aroundrs offers the possibility of renting a reusable container for free, in the app or through integrations with third-party systems.

In 2023 Aroundrs participated at the Call For Impact of Get it!. After completing an acceleration path, in October 2023 it was selected as “Best Start-up For Impact” at the Investor Day of Get it!, benefiting from an investment of €50,000 from Fondazione Social Venture Giordano Dell’Amore, strategic and operational arm of Fondazione Cariplo in the field of impact investing and promoter of the program, in partnership with Cariplo Factory.

Impact

Aroundrs aims to offer the best reusable packaging service to reduce the use of disposable packaging, guaranteeing high quality and traceability of environmental impact. In fact, the initiative offers both the catering company and the client company data relating to uses and the consequent impact in terms of CO2 with a dedicated dashboard and a final certification. Aroundrs’ reusable containers are high-performance, microwave and dishwasher compatible and can be reused up to 300 times.
