THE GLOBAL REUSE SUMMIT
The New Reuse Economy: A World That Refills & Returns
The Global Reuse Summit, in partnership with Ecosurety, returned for a second year on Wednesday 12th of March 2025. It’s time to take reusable packaging to the mainstream and this [free] digital event brings people together to make it happen. It couldn't be timelier; the burden single-use packaging places on people, planet and now profit is escalating. The world of refill and return offers an exciting global market opportunity and will protect the planet from the impacts of unnecessary single-use waste. Watch the livestream of the event now and join us for critical conversations to power the transition and build confidence in the new reusable economy. It’s time to take reuse seriously.
REIMAGINING THE FUTURE
From brands and businesses, to researchers, campaigners and activists – we heard from leaders in the space, with sessions covering all aspects of the refill and reuse, including global policy, packaging, business innovation, and localised system change. Register to get access to inspirational talks, provocative panels, in-depth workshops and more.
As a global movement, we have the power to create a wave of change and show the rest of the world that the solutions to plastic pollution and the climate crisis are there – and together we can keep our environment, ocean, and communities plastic-free for the future.
Global insights on packaging reuse for the UK
In preparation for the Global Reuse Summit, we have collaborated with environmental policy experts Eunomia Research & Consulting on a paper detailing global policy lessons for reuse systems. This paper sets the context for our policy panel chaired by Dr Chris Sherrington in discussion with Baroness Natalie Bennett and Dr Debbie Fletcher, highlighting what UK policy makers might consider when rethinking how our packaging system can be fit for a reuse future.
