Packaging reuse, a sector that cuts across all others

Packaging reuse, a sector that cuts across all others

Reuse is a major trend in the packaging industry today. And if packaging is a leading sector in the Reuse Economy, it’s because it’s common to all the others. It’s everywhere. In all modes of consumption, whether it’s the customer or the company that takes care of it, there’s no activity without packaging. Whether we’re talking about sales packaging or transport packaging, this makes it an environmental issue as well as an economic performance issue for all other sectors. Numerous initiatives are springing up, and the key to ensuring that these initiatives have a real impact lies in scaling them up and adopting a systemic approach.
