REUSE - how to rethink and innovate plastic packaging
September 11, 2019
Converting 20% of global disposable plastic packaging into reuse models is a USD10 billion business opportunity that benefits customers and represents a crucial element in the quest to eliminate plastic pollution. All stakeholders need to join forces to create new models of consumption, production, and distribution that harness this opportunity while tackling the plastics waste crisis at its source. In this DIF session, we will dive into the new book - Reuse: Rethinking packaging, released by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation - and showcase various reuse models that go far beyond the traditional reusable shopping bag. We will discuss the benefits of reuse and have conversations with three innovators currently changing the world with innovative reuse solutions.
