The most eco-efficient packaging solution
There is a real struggle in finding the ultimate eco-friendly packaging solution. From selecting the right material, which is sustainable; yet still fit for purpose. To the manufacturing process, warehousing, shipping and then waste.
Reusable packaging is certainly one of the three methods used to minimise the environmental impact of your packaging.
Reusable packaging – which is often also referred to as reusable transport items (RTI) – is just as the name suggests. A reusable container or box that will be used time and time again over multiple journeys.

How reusable packaging works
The material of the reusable packaging is key to its success. It needs to be durable and ideally waterproof, with the view for the packaging to the cleaned between uses. Especially if contaminated with soil, dirt, dust or debris. Reusable packaging should not be confused with 'opportunistic re-use' where a product which is intended for single-use is re-purposed. There should be a clear difference in the packagings intended use, whether this be single or multi-use packaging.
