About Us

REPOT BOX is a cannabis packaging recycling company dedicated to promoting sustainability in cannabis through our partnered-loyalty program across dispensaries. We are dedicated to fostering sustainable practices in the cannabis industry and “closing the circle” on cannabis packaging waste.

This work is two-fold: promoting sustainable practices for consumers through our rewards-based loyalty program and closing the circle on the packaging industry through our B2B diversion program. A single gram of cannabis comes with an average of 70 grams of packaging waste. This abundance of branded and unbranded packaging can be captured for reuse, recycling, repurposing, and proper disposal rather than going to landfills.

OUR MISSION

'Closing The Circle'

At our core, REPOT BOX is dedicated to diverting single-use cannabis packaging from landfills. Typically, cannabis packaging goes through a linear process, from production to consumer use, and often ends up as waste in landfills. We believe in closing the circle by implementing a circular economy model. This means we aim to collect used packaging, recycle it, and reintroduce it into the supply chain, reducing waste and environmental impact. By doing so, we not only help reduce the carbon footprint of the cannabis industry but also promote sustainability and responsible consumption practices.
