Reusable and Refillable Packaging

Reusable packaging is a crucial part of the circular economy for plastics, offering a promising solution to eliminate waste, tackle plastic pollution and provide significant business advantages.

Reusable packaging presents a sustainable alternative to single-use packaging. Various innovative materials and systems are developed to enhance sustainability in packaging.

Refillable and reusable packaging sales are forecast to increase by a CAGR of 4.5% to 2029 and developing end uses are growing nearly four times faster than mature end uses. The global reusable and refillable packaging market is expected to grow by over $7 billion to 2029.

This online webinar will provide insights into topics including current trends and developments in refill & reuse packaging, PPWR, LCA studies of reuse, reusability by design, implementation of reuse models and take-back systems, case studies, standards, investment and funding, innovation and harmonisation.
