The trend toward refillable and reusable packaging is gaining momentum as more companies explore ways to reduce their use of single-use, hard-to-recycle packaging. This growth is partly driven by the goal of the Plastic Pact to deliver reusable packaging by 2025. Many of these initiatives are coming from startup and smaller brands, but multinational companies are also beginning to test the waters with small-scale trials and pilots. The dry food, household, and health and beauty sectors are currently the most active in this area.

U.K. doorstep delivery company Milk & More is partnering with Cola-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) to conduct a trial on returnable, reusable glass bottles for its Coca-Cola Zero Sugar carbonated drink. The trial started in early June 2023 and will run for eight to twelve weeks. The trial will feature one liter bottles of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and will take place across south London and central southern England. The company says that washing, refilling and reuse process can take place up to 20 times, in which case it expects to offer an 82% reduction in carbon footprint compared to single-use glass. Milk & More claims that its milk bottles are reused 28 times on average. CCEP hopes that 100,000 consumers will engage with the trial and take up refillable packaging solutions, aiding the organization’s efforts to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
