After the success of the first Reusable Packaging Fair, we would like to invite you to the next edition on Tuesday 19 November 2024 in congress centre 1931 in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The Reusable Packaging Fair is organised by Mission Reuse, a collaboration between Natuur & Milieu, Enviu and Fair Resource Foundation.
Reusable packaging is an important step towards a circular economy in 2050. The Reusable Packaging Fair brings together all stakeholders and gives a boost to the transition from disposable to reuse.

The Reusable Packaging Fair focuses on reusable packaging on the Dutch and Belgian market, in all sectors, from consumer packaging to B2B packaging. Get to know reusable packaging, logistics solutions, cleaning systems and technological support on the market square. And immerse yourself in a breakout session to learn more about hygiene, washing, logistics and return points, standardization, collaboration, consumer behavior, environmental benefits, financing the transition, practical examples from other countries and much more.
Hester Klein Lankhorst (director Verpact) and Rob Buurman (director Fair Resource Foundation / Mission Reuse) will share their vision on reuse during the plenary opening. Marc Pruijn (Rijkswaterstaat) will guide the opening and ask provocative questions. The full program can be found here.

Customers pay the bill for McDonald’s pollution
For two years now, all hospitality establishments in the Netherlands have been required to serve food and drinks for on-site consumption in reusable packaging. However, since the summer of 2024, McDonald’s Netherlands has been violating the law by offering single-use cardboard cups with plastic coating in its restaurants. As a result, the country’s largest fast-food chain is not only non-compliant and wasting resources, but is even making customers pay extra by charging a fee for these single-use cups.
Belgian packaging industry already saved 465 million € in litter fees – at our expense
The Belgian packaging industry is outraged by the introduction of a new €102 million litter levy. But it conveniently forgets that its effective lobbying has already saved it no less than €465 million. This sum has been gained at the expense of local authorities and society. This levy is due to be approved today by the Walloon Council of Ministers. Fair Resource Foundation delves into the figures.
Why is The Netherlands a key player in the global plastic waste market?
Despite its small size, the Netherlands is one of the world’s largest exporters of plastic waste per capita. Thanks to the port of Rotterdam and a strong trading position, the Netherlands acts as an important transit country – even for shipments with shadowy origins and destinations. A lack of enforcement makes the system vulnerable to illegal exports, with waste often ending up in countries with weak environmental regulations. This article shows how the Netherlands unintentionally contributes to global environmental pollution and why stricter rules and more responsibility are crucial.
