Bottlers, product designers, bottle manufacturers, logistics specialists and beverage companies are once again invited to submit progressive ideas for the Reusable Innovation Award. This time, the focus is on reusable glass beverage packaging.
For the twelfth time, Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) and the Stiftung Initiative Mehrweg (SIM) are organising the Reusable Innovation Award from.
The two organisations are calling on bottlers, product designers, bottle manufacturers, logisticians and beverage companies to submit progressive ideas for the award. The award recognises outstanding achievements and initiatives that on innovative further developments of reusable systems for beverage packaging contribute.
„Saving energy and resources has never been as important as it is today. Reusable drinks packaging can make an important contribution to this through its multiple reuse. That is why it is particularly important, promote and further develop regional reusable cycles. Because even with well-functioning reusable systems, things can always be further optimised, such as filling processes, logistics or eco-design. With the Reusable Innovation Award, we want to highlight and promote such developments so that the Ecological advantage of reusable over disposable will be expanded even further,“ says DUH Federal Managing Director Barbara Metz.
„Consumers are fed up with single-use plastic bottles. They know that single-use plastic exacerbates our climate crisis and leads to unnecessary mountains of waste. Glass, on the other hand, is all the rage, because it is not only suitable for refilling up to 50 times, but also has a particularly high-quality look and feel and protects the contents in the best possible way. That is why the focus of the Reusable Innovation Award This year, too, the focus is on glass.“
Jens Oldenburg, SIM Managing Director
