As we reflect on the 6th edition of the International Refill & Reuse Trade Fair, co-organized by New ERA in collaboration with Réseau Vrac et Réemploi (RVR) and RCube, the excitement of the event still lingers.
Held on May 13-14, 2024, in the heart of Paris at the Parc Floral, this year’s event marked a significant milestone in the evolution of the refill and reuse industry, drawing together over 2,000 professionals, innovators, and enthusiasts from around the globe.
The success of this year’s International Refill & Reuse Trade Fair underscores the growing momentum of the reuse revolution. Legislative frameworks in France, like the AGEC Law and the 3R Implementing Decree, along with the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), are paving the way for continued industry advancements. However, as we look to the future, it’s clear that overcoming the challenges of scaling up reuse systems will require continued innovation, collaboration, and policy support.
We are already gearing up for the next edition of the trade fair in May 2025, where we anticipate an even larger gathering of global leaders in the refill and reuse sectors. Until then, we remain committed to supporting our members and partners in their efforts to innovate and expand the impact of reuse systems worldwide.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the event, especially our collaborators and the dedicated teams who made this edition a resounding success. We look forward to continuing this journey with you and to seeing the incredible progress we can achieve together.
Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare for another groundbreaking year. See you in Paris in 2025!
