What problem company is solving?

Most people are familiar with the situation: when trying to dispose of paper waste, you come across an overflowing paper bin, overflowing with cardboard boxes. Shipping waste in Germany alone is estimated to reach 1.1 million tonnes by 2024, an increase of over 10% since 2020 – growth that not only increases mountains of waste but also wastes resources and drives up CO2 emissions. This is precisely where Boomerang comes in, in a market that is facing a turning point due to the EU reusable quotas: 10% of all shipping packaging should be reusable by 2030, and as much as 50% by 2040.

Boomerang offers a range of reusable shipping bags and boxes that can be used up to 50 times to significantly reduce the consumption of disposable cardboard packaging.

Valuation (pre-money) - 1,800,000 EUR

Company and product stage-  first sales made 

What problem company is solving?

Traditional methods only evaluate bone density without evaluating its internal structure. If you think of the Eiffel Tower, it is made of iron beams; if the arrangement of the beams were changed, the density (quantity of iron) would remain the same but the Eiffel Tower would collapse. From this we understand how, to date, the diagnosis, which considers only the quantity but not the functionality of the structure, is incomplete.

This is why the BES TEST was born: to complete the diagnosis and prevent fragility and stress fractures. In Italy alone, the costs related to fragility fractures are estimated at €40,000,000 per year. These include, for example, costs related to operating rooms, post-fracture assistants, and lost working days.
