InPost UK has announced a new partnership with TerraCycle that will see InPost’s parcel locker network utilised to allow people to have “hard-to-recycle” rubbish recycled by TerraCycle. In addition, the company has said 300 of its parcel lockers will be rolled out at approximately 300 BP petrol stations across the UK.
Writing on LinkedIn, InPost UK said that through its partnership with TerraCycle, both parties are “revolutionising” recycling by keeping “hard-to-recycle” rubbish out of landfills and incinerators.
The partnership will allow people to order a Zero Waste Bag online that can be used to discard rubbish items that are tough to recycle. The bag can then be placed into one of InPost’s 5,000 lockers across the UK for transport to TerraCycle, who claims it can recycle pretty much anything.
Last week, InPost also announced a deal with BP that will see 300 parcel lockers come to BP petrol stations.
Commenting on that announcement, Michael Rouse, CEO of InPost International, said:
“People are always looking for ways to inject ease and convenience into their lives, and the introduction of InPost Lockers to bp retail sites offers exactly that. With increasingly busy lives, shoppers can incorporate collecting, returning and sending their parcels into their journeys to work and beyond. It’s fantastic to be able to implement a practical and useful Out-Of-Home delivery solution into local communities up and down the country.”
Sonya Adams, VP mobility and convenience retail UK, bp added:
“We know how precious time is for our customers and we are always looking for strong, compelling offers to meet their mobility and convenience needs — and make their lives that little bit easier. This trial has shown that customers on-the-move are looking for delivery solutions and I’m excited to see the rollout of InPost Lockers starting across our UK network of great roadside locations.”
