Environmental concern has been a constant topic in society. And, in the corporate environment, it wouldn't be different. A study conducted by the American Chamber of Commerce for Brazil (Amcham Brazil) in 2024 indicates that 71% of companies have implemented or started some sustainable initiative, with 78% of them having an agenda of environmental and social commitments. Among the brands that embed sustainability in their DNA is Airlocker, the first Brazilian franchise of fully self-managed smart lockers, which has just fulfilled its sustainability mission through the launch of a recyclable smart locker.
Unlike its original version, which is made of steel, the solution is produced using 100% recycled plastic polymer, which undergoes a reindustrialization process and reduces waste disposal by up to 35%, as well as pollutant emissions.Overall, the product development took about two years, and the sales forecast for 2025 is 100 units.
"Today we are moving towards an increasingly digital and sustainable world. There is no way to go back in this scenario that is already a reality. Therefore, we believe this is the best time for this launch. Our expectations for the acceptance of the initiative are the best, and this is just the first investment that reflects our vision for the future of the business: delivering more and more responsible innovations that contribute not only to optimizing consumer experiences but also to encouraging a conscious society," says Elton Matos, co-founder and CEO of Airlocker.
