Reusable Packaging Renaissance: Collaboration, Regulation, and the Path Forward
- After years of small-scale trials, why are companies realising that large-scale, multi-stakeholder collaboration — including shared washing and logistics infrastructure — is essential for truly effective reusable packaging systems?
- What lessons can we take from initiatives like France’s deposit-based glass reuse schemes or Canada’s packaging-as-a-service model in personal care, especially around brand and retailer interoperability?
- How are consumer attitudes and behaviours evolving around reuse and refill, and which strategies — such as standardised, cross-retailer systems and clear collection points — are driving adoption at scale?
- How can companies and policymakers work together to make reuse and refill systems truly circular, efficient, and scalable, while balancing operational feasibility with environmental impact?
