Finding the Path from Single-Use to Reuse

EMERGING PROGRAMS THAT REPLACE SINGLE-USE PACKAGING WITH CLOSED-LOOP REUSE BASED INITIATIVES

Original air date: October 12th, 2022 at 1:00pm EDT

 

Description:

Waste reduction advocates have sought for years to move beyond recycling to advance practices that reduce & reuse waste at its source. While programs to keep durable items out of the landfill have found some success, it’s been much harder to implement initiatives that systematically displace single-use packaging with reusable alternatives on a wide-scale. That is starting to change.
This free program featured presentations and panel discussions from several private and public initiatives that are developing scalable, closed loop models for expanding reusable cups, to-go food, and other packaging for reuse in venues, restaurants, and other settings.
