| Abstract: | Multiple factors influence the success and sustainability of reusable packaging systems, including consumer behaviour (Bradley & Corsini, 2023). Recent findings from UK trials emphasise the need for continued consumer engagement to ensure reusable packaging systems are profitable and provide environmental benefits(Tesco, 2021). Specifically, product categories with high turnover (e.g., household care, personal care and food & beverage) are considered preferable (IDG, 2021; Center for the Circular Economy & US Plastics Pact, 2025), but a change in consumer behaviour is needed to ensure sufficient reuse rates are met (WRAP, 2023; Center for the Circular Economy & US Plastics Pact, 2025). ... |
