REUSE
Packaging design that meets the requirements of product categories, collection, and service processes

Reusable packaging system design consultancy
Whether you're a municipality exploring packaging tax incentives, a retailer navigating the reuse mandate, or a brand rethinking your packaging strategy, we help you understand your requirements, set the right priorities, and build a clear path forward.

The transition from single-use to reusable packaging is one of the most significant shifts the packaging industry has seen. But for most organisations, it's completely new territory.
The questions are overwhelming: Where do I start? What infrastructure do I need? How do I build a system that actually scales? Which investments pay off, and which don't?
Without a structured approach, organisations either get stuck in analysis paralysis, invest in isolated solutions that don't scale, or underestimate the systemic complexity of reuse.
That's where we come in.

At the core of our consulting is the Sykell Operating Model, a proprietary framework for designing, assessing, and optimising circular reuse systems. It breaks down the full reuse value chain into four interdependent value spaces:
Packaging design that meets the requirements of product categories, collection, and service processes
Return networks and reverse logistics that work in everyday life
Pool maintenance through sorting, cleaning, and end-of-life recycling
Automation of circular workflows through inventory tracing and partner integration
We meet you where you are. Whether you're taking your first steps or looking to optimise an existing system, our consulting services are designed to bring structure, clarity, and momentum.
We support the analysis your current state, help you identify your specific requirements, and map out where you stand across all four value spaces of the Operating Model. The result: a clear picture of your starting point and the most impactful next steps.
Together, we define your reuse goals, prioritise actions, and develop a phased roadmap that accounts for regulatory requirements, operational constraints, and scalability.
For organisations ready to build or improve a reuse system, we apply the Operating Model to design solutions that are integrated, scalable, and economically viable across all four value spaces.
Reuse is a journey, not a one-time project. We offer ongoing advisory partnerships to help you navigate evolving regulations, optimise operations, and scale with confidence.

We don't just advise, we build. Sykell operates Einfach Mehrweg, one of the most advanced reusable packaging ecosystems in Germany. Our consulting is grounded in real-world operational experience, not theory.


Our proprietary framework is the only structured approach to designing reuse systems that accounts for all four value spaces and their interdependencies. It's been validated through years of building and scaling Einfach Mehrweg.


We don't optimise in isolation. Our approach ensures that every decision considers the full system, from packaging design to pool management. That's how you avoid another "island solution" that plagues the industry.
Reuse doesn't have to be overwhelming. In a short discovery call, we'll listen to your goals, understand your challenges, and give you an honest assessment of where to start. No pitch, just clarity.
