This paper, created by the WWF, has two main objectives. The first is to outline the key benefits of well-designed reuse systems; the second is to provide recommendations for implementing effective reuse systems. This WWF global position paper lays out a framework through which reuse systems can support WWF’s ambition for a future where people and nature thrive. It builds on the concept that keeping resources circulating in the system for as long as possible can reduce the demand for virgin materials and reduce the amount of waste that needs to be managed.

The Reuse and Rethinking Packaging report provides a framework to understand reuse, identifies six major benefits of reuse, and maps 69 reuse examples. By analysing many positive initiatives and through interviews with experts in the sector, it provides a basic description of how different reuse models work and outlines typical implementation challenges. This work specifically focuses on business-to-consumer (B2C) applications of packaging solutions.
