About us
Acting for the planet
Our mission is to give people the power and eagerness to fight e-commerce waste.
1.3 billion parcels are sent around France each year
This represents 300,000 tons of packaging trash. That’s way too much. And until now, we could not choose the packaging in which we received our orders.
Simple gestures that make you want to act
We believe that if we share what we know about the environmental impact of e-commerce packaging and create packages that are convenient, easy to use, and fun to receive, no one will want single-use parcels anymore.
Our guiding star
We are aware that we still have a long way to go and that won’t get everything right straight away. To stay focused on our mission, we will not lose sight of our guiding star, which will help us stay on the right track to reach our set goals.
Positive impact
Change, like the one we are aiming for, takes time. But we promise to keep on reducing our environmental impact and to do everything we can to achieve our goals.
Transparency
We communicate transparently about our company and our activity. Our choices are explained, illustrated, and documented.
Sustainability
Hipli, the company and the products, have been made to last. We aim to change our society’s behaviour: this can’t be achieved in a few months. We are therefore laying a solid foundation for our company to last and support this change over time.
Let’s take a moment to look back

Technology for re-use
For reusable parcels to be truly reused, they need to be accompanied by tools such as an integration plug-in, professional scanning software and a tracking dashboard.
