Packalicious-community verkent routes naar intrinsiek duurzaam verpakken
December 9, 2024
In recent years, France has become a frontrunner in the field of reusable packaging. What practices, good and bad, can we learn from them? How have reuse models been (re)introduced, what is the legal framework and how does the French reuse market operate?
In 2020, KIDV has set up the Community of Practice on Reusable packaging in order to further investigate challenges and opportunities of reusable packaging. The CoP Reusable Packaging consists of parties who want to make their packaging more sustainable by studying and implementing reusable options. Supermarkets, brand owners, service providers, start-ups, research institutes and NGOs all participate in this KIDV community. As a collective, the CoP investigates and discusses relevant themes, share information and set up and support pilots.
This webinar, with the focus on France, is the first in a triptych of webinars on reuse learnings in other countries. InOff Plastic is the co-host of this session. In upcoming editions, we will focus on Germany and the UK.
