Sykell partnered with dotch GmbH and Boomerang to present three startups building the infrastructure behind Mehrweg.

Sykell accelerates the transition to the circular economy across Europe by enabling reusable packaging systems to scale. Its services address reusable packaging requirements holistically and allow brands in FMCG, foodservice, and retail to transform towards circular value chains. Circular ERP is Europe’s leading software to manage scalable reusable systems across categories. The pool management platform traces assets along system partners and automates circular operational workflows — from circular inventory management to circular finance including deposit management and circular system intelligence. Takeaway, pre-packaged food and non-food, events, and secondary packaging are enabled. Sykell Prefill is the world’s first reusable primary plastic packaging solution for pre-packaged foods for a wide application of categories. Its reusable ultrahigh barrier and re-sealable technologies ensure maximal product protection reuse after reuse, while enabling brands to communicate as individually as ever. Fully compatible with reverse vending machines and reverse operations of other plastic-based containers managed by Circular ERP. Sykell To-Go delivers smart reusable packaging for the foodservice sector: Brandable, traceable packaging toolings designed for everyday reuse, supported by scalable collection and service processes. Fully compatible with reverse vending machines and reverse operations of other plastic-based containers managed by Circular ERP. In Germany, Sykell To-Go and Sykell Prefill are part of EINFACH MEHRWEG ("simply reuse"), the reuse ecosystem for plastic-based packaging running on Circular ERP for convenient return processes and integrated reverse operations.
