Reuse and refill: What can we learn from what’s working, and what isn’t?

09:50 - 10:40
Reuse and refill schemes have been hailed as a transformative solution to sustainable packaging. But the adoption by brands and the consumer response has been mixed. In this session we will reflect on existing schemes, assess where we’re seeing success and explore what we can learn going forward. Our expert speakers will discuss: 
 
  • Practical examples of existing schemes and candid insights into what is working, what isn’t and why 
  • The infrastructure that is needed to enable widespread adoption of reuse and refill systems 
  • How are consumers responding and what incentives and rewards effectively promote engagement? 
  • How can we overcome the barriers to the scalability of reuse and refill programs?
