- The Environment: In seeking to reduce single-use packaging companies can reduce CO2 emission and water consumption associated with manufacturing processes. Deposit for reuse model can achieve significant advances in sustainable operations and environmental gains.
- Regulations: In Europe and France, the AGEC law and trends move towards more reusable packaging. In Europe the AGEC law sets a draft regulation on packaging and packaging waste. France sets a target of no more single-use plastic packaging on the market by 2040.
- Consumers: Following the goals in France, the coalition hopes to adopt more sustainable consumption practices. A study recent found 94% of consumer say they are ready to switch to reusing their shampoo bottles, and 88% of consumers have already adopted reuse practices.
