About

We are raising a €650k pre-seed round to validate our patented Zero Waste Packaging Technology with first pilot projects in 2025. Paze addresses a rapidly growing market driven by e-commerce growth and EU regulations like the Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which mandates reusable packaging quotas of 10% by 2030 and 50% by 2040. Retailers are under pressure to reduce waste, lower operational costs, and meet sustainability goals—yet scalable reusable solutions are still missing.

Paze fills this gap with a packaging-as-a-service solution built on proprietary Aeroflex technology, which enables height-adaptive, shock-absorbing packaging made of recycled mono-materials. Combined with our dynamic E-Ink labeling system, the Paze Pack offers trackability, reusability up to 100 cycles, and a fully circular logistics model. Our first pilots with retail and logistics leaders will prove our business case and unlock a new standard in circular packaging.
