Reloop has a very specific focus in the UK and Ireland – working to support the introduction of deposit systems for beverage containers across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland.
We regularly provide data, system design experience and analysis to governments, NGOs, trade associations and businesses.
We are also connected to the academic sector in England focused on reusable packaging, with a view to increasing our knowledge and understanding of potential solutions and how they can be integrated into the existing waste collection infrastructure across each nation.
