2.5. Large Scale Reuse 🍾 Lessons from the German Reuse System and Circular Retail

How can reusable packaging help to reduce plastic waste? How could a system look like in which we buy for example our lentils, yogurts, and coffee in reusable glass jars and return them to be used - again, and again, and again? What are examples of large-scale reusable systems that are already successful today? You will hear this and much more from Kirils Jegorovs the Co-Founder and Lead Link of Circolution, a System Development company dedicated to building a system of Reusable Packaging scalable to all food segments, starting in Germany. Previously he worked in retail and developed new products for consumer goods companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Hochland, and Nestle. He also helped Mitte - a startup developing a water purification and remineralization device - to make their product circular.
