Together with the Netherlands Institute for Sustainable Packaging (KIDV), Verpact, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management and the Transition Agenda for Consumer Goods, Mission Reuse organised the Reusable Packaging Fair 2024. "The whole reuse system in the room". This is how one visitor described the Reusable Packaging Fair 2024. Government, business, academics, civil society organisations and media came together in 's-Hertogenbosch on Tuesday 19 November to see, celebrate and accelerate the transition to reuse in practice. Mission Reuse initiated and organised this reusable packaging fair, in collaboration with the Netherlands Institute for Sustainable Packaging (KIDV), Verpact and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. Following the success of the first edition, this second edition was also well-attended with 480 registrations, 55 speakers, 25 exhibitors and 27 breakout sessions. The fair brought together reuse solution providers from all kinds of sectors, both B2C and B2B: e-commerce, retail, cleaning, transport, healthcare, hospitality, flora & horti, construction, events and more. They offer reuse solutions for cups and meal packaging, glass bottles and jars, transport packaging, dry goods, cleaning products, and much more. Service providers such as washing, technology and communication advice were also present. Providers and buyers of reusable packaging solutions came together at 25 stands. All aspects of reuse were covered in 27 breakout sessions. From legislation to financing, from design to consumer behaviour, and from business models to supply chain collaboration. Have another look at the full programme for this year (2024) and last year (2023). Do you have ideas for a next edition? Please let us know! Reusable packaging is an important step on the way to a circular economy by 2050. The second Reusable Packaging Fair brought all stakeholders together and gave a boost to the transition from disposable to reuse. Many thanks to all speakers, exhibitors and visitors!
