Global insights on packaging reuse for the UK

In preparation for the Global Reuse Summit, we have collaborated with environmental policy experts Eunomia Research & Consulting on a paper detailing global policy lessons for reuse systems. This paper sets the context for our policy panel chaired by Dr Chris Sherrington in discussion with Baroness Natalie Bennett and Dr Debbie Fletcher, highlighting what UK policy makers might consider when rethinking how our packaging system can be fit for a reuse future.
