About

Twenty years of reuse operations. No assets of our own.

inolarity turns two decades of hands-on supply-chain and reuse work into independent answers for teams facing PPWR. Because we sell no washing, logistics or packaging services, we can assess the model independently.

Dirk Schaich, founder of inolarity GmbH

For more than twenty years I built, restructured and grew supply chains across Europe — redesigning logistics networks, working on cost structures, running cross-border partner networks in reuse operations. I have seen at close range where reuse systems quietly break.

I have seen promising reuse concepts struggle because the operating model was considered too late. inolarity exists to bring that work forward.

Talking to partners, customers and reuse associations, the same pattern kept coming up. Teams want to move to reuse, often out of conviction rather than regulation. But nobody is there to tell them independently what it costs to run, or whether the plan holds.

“Whether you are thinking about reuse, already switching or stuck at scale, the question is the same: what does this really cost to run, and does the plan hold? That is what we help you answer.”
Dirk Schaich, founder

Where we are today

Early stage, and open about it.

inolarity GmbH was registered in Munich in 2026. Behind it are more than twenty years of hands-on supply-chain and reuse experience and a food-grade reuse system the founder modelled and ran himself. We are working towards our first signed engagement and we are deliberate about who we start with.

We are looking for one pilot partner to work with closely. The terms reflect the risk of going first: a shorter minimum term of 36 months rather than 60, and a reduced management fee. In exchange, they become our named reference.

Why this matters to us

The advantage sits in the operations.

Ray Kroc did not win because McDonald's had better burgers. He won because he built the system behind them — standardised suppliers, controlled logistics, unit economics that repeated in every location. The operating system was the advantage.

The distributors and pool operators who do well over the next decade will not have the best containers. They will have the most reliable, most cost-efficient and most auditable loops. inolarity provides the independent operational management that brings partners, performance and costs together transparently — the model and the data, not the equipment.
