Olga’s Blog on the Guidance for Reusable Packaging

Reusable packaging, which includes both refillable and returnable systems, is an opportunity to create a package-product system that is preferable to single-use packaging. Reuse focuses on source reduction as a way to prevent waste. Because these efforts are preferred to end-of-life management, such as recycling, reusable packaging can be a better option for the environment. Yet, many important questions about reuse remain – What is the goal of reusable packaging? When is it the right fit? What does success look like?
