Paze GmbH

Start-up

Stuttgart, Germany

Paze GmbH develops an automated system for reusable, inflatable packaging tailored to e-commerce logistics. Our solution merges the pazePro—a modular, inflatable shipping container made from recycled materials, featuring adaptive cushioning and dynamic e-ink labeling—with the pazeStation, an automation unit that handles setup, inflation, and integration into existing workflows. Together, they enable scalable circular logistics with up to 95% less packaging waste. Backed by DHL, Fraunhofer, and Bito Lagertechnik, we aim to provide infrastructure for zero-waste shipping at industrial scale.

About me

I’m an experienced founder and innovation manager from Germany with a deep passion for circular economy solutions. I bootstrapped my first startup to 7-figure revenue, and along the way, I realized just how big of a problem packaging is in the e-commerce sector — both economically and environmentally.

That insight led me to start Paze, where I’m now building the first zero-waste packaging system for transport logistics. My focus is on combining technical innovation, thoughtful user experience, and circular design to help replace the outdated linear systems that no longer make sense — because if the Earth isn’t flat, our economy shouldn’t be either.
