29 Jun 2023 --- Reusable packaging is an economically viable alternative to single-use packaging, found Zero Waste Europe (ZWE) and Searious Business in a study published today. The research found that reusable takeaway food containers are cheaper for service users, and system providers achieve a return on investment between years three and four. In secondary transport packaging, results show that the return on investment for a systems provider is achieved between years two and three, and the user costs are similar. The study also identified reusable beverage containers as economically advantageous for users, and the return on investment for system providers can be reached between years five and six.
