It has been around for a long time for drinks bottles, and the mandatory deposit was even extended at the beginning of the year. However, companies are also increasingly thinking about how other reusable systems can be created for other products and packaging. In 2021, Sea Me GmbH began to set up a cycle in which the packaging for its own products, such as soaps and lotions, can be returned, cleaned and refilled. The company launched zerooo for this purpose.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The reusable system for drugstores not only has a positive impact on the environment and the climate, but also brings benefits for retailers and consumers.

Environmental organisations such as the WWF and Deutsche Umwelthilfe see reusable packaging as an opportunity to close resource cycles. Particularly important for zerooo on the way to a The circular value chain includes running washing lines, the preparation or further processing of the closures<\/strong> and the return of the labels to the waste paper stream.<\/p>
