Container lending service Barepack Singapore’s journey will soon be coming to a close.
The start-up announced in June that it will be shutting down operations in Singapore this week, thanking users for their support.
“It is our greatest regret not being able to continue our services in Singapore,” wrote country manager Linh Le on the company’s page. Le is also the co-founder and chief executive of Barepack.
The start-up did not offer further reasons for its decision and has declined requests for comments, but its halting of local operations has sparked discussions within the industry on the challenges of curbing disposables in Singapore.
