Package Free: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

Package Free is a retailer that sells products that help to live a zero or low-waste lifestyle. The company offers a solution for those who want to reduce their environmental footprint, but don’t know where to start. It actually charges vendors a percentage of the shipment if the shipment arrives with plastic, and increases that percentage on the second infraction. Package Free buys their inventory wholesale and enforces incredibly strict guidelines for the vendors they work with, not least of which is a no-exceptions no-plastic policy. It also reuses the dunnage (packaging materials) that the original shipment came with, meaning the company never uses virgin dunnage. They want to expand to creating their own sustainable CPG products, first tackling the ‘white space’ of products that aren’t currently available via vendor partners. Package Free was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, United States.

About FundedIQ's Package Free Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Package Free is left off this page rather than filled in.
