Reuse in Mass Consumption

Potential for reusing packaging in retail and distribution

This project, promoted by the Portuguese Association of Distribution Companies (APED), was intended to assess the environmental contribution of reusable packaging models in the context of take-away and mass consumption, as well as defining coherent sustainable policies.

Specifically for take-away packaging, a life cycle assessment, an economic and environmental analysis was carried out, along with a viability evaluation of the various reuse models and solutions.
