Serlocal addresses the issue of excessive retail packaging and shipping costs with our creative minimalist packaging solutions that has proven to cut unnecessary packaging waste by up to 70% , whether it’s paper or plastic, while also slashing shipping costs significantly
Recently, we collaborated with a manufacturer to save 13.4 grams of packaging per item for 3,000 units of a product, resulting in a 67% reduction in retail packaging waste and 41% reduction in shipping costs.
This single initiative saved nearly an entire tree with every order (as 1,000 kg of paper equals 24 trees, according to 8billiontrees.com), proving that small changes can make a big impact for businesses and the planet.
Serlocal is creating a smart platform that empowers consumers to share honest, unfiltered and prompt feedback directly with manufacturers and fellow community members, fostering trust, accountability, and reducing returns, surplus, waste and fake reviews. Members will even be rewarded if their suggestions rank among the top three ideas to improve a product.
By collaborating with forward-thinking manufacturers, we aim to address real consumer needs, enabling smarter production planning, faster product improvements, and the creation of new products people genuinely want while minimizing production surplus, unnecessary waste and purchase returns.
Unlike existing platforms that prioritize profit over people by charging high fees for listing, advertising and penalties (that will eventually be passed to consumers), Serlocal’s community-driven platform is committed to ethical partnerships and authentic reviews, Serlocal is aligning genuine manufacturers’ intention with customers expectations to eventually minimize fake reviews, miscommunications and unnecessary products returns ensuring a better and greener shopping experience for everyone.
We help consumers to curb overspending by sticking to our intentional payment methods like Zelle, CashApp, Venmo, or debit cards where we encourage them to spend only what they have.
Our mission goes beyond the basics, we’re building a sustainable commerce ecosystem by starting with what we call “corrective actions” to solve immediate issues listed above. But real sustainability requires taking proactive steps to implement “preventive actions” that we’re committed to doing more.
