A brief look at Reusable Beverage Containers

In this episode of The Reloop Brief, we explore the global decline of reusable beverage containers and what can be done to reverse it. Barry Snedden is joined by Anna Larsson, Reloop’s Circular Economy Development Director, who unpacks the reasons behind the shift toward single-use packaging, the role of deposit return systems in supporting reuse, and how upcoming EU regulations could help turn the tide, and how HoReCa can play a key role.

With the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation setting a 10% reuse target, Anna looks ahead to a more coordinated future, where reuse becomes a mainstream part of sustainable packaging policy.
