Respondents said many factors are driving change to models incorporating reusable transport packaging including government regulations, public concern for the environment, automation for track and trace, and labor availability.
Economic factors play a large part as well, as the savings with reusable packaging applications can be demonstrated.

Users of reusable packaging (retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, processors, growers, distribution and logistics providers, and government agencies)
Manufacturers and poolers of reusable packaging (pallets, containers, crates, totes, IBCs, drums, tanks, dunnage, racks, carts, dollies, and cargo protection)
Suppliers / service providers to reusable packaging systems (washing & sanitizing equipment and services, sort and return services, asset repair, technology equipment and services, raw materials, engineering & design, and transportation & logistics)
