Article for Resource Recycling by Samantha Millette and Clarissa Morawski, April 2019.
“With reusable alternatives available across countless product categories, it’s only a matter of time before other countries around the world follow in Europe’s footsteps. As more jurisdictions craft reuse-focused policy, they will be opening the doors to new opportunities for businesses to adapt to this changing environment and promote themselves as single-use-free.”
