Reuse and Refill: Key Actions
Build or Join a Compliant Reuse
System
Reuse systems must be operational by Aug 12, 2026
Integrate Reuse & Refill Solutions
to Meet Prevention Goals
Develop or join reuse systems (logistics, washing, reverse flows). Test
reusable/refillable packaging for durability and consumer acceptance. Prepare for
2028 takeaway reuse obligations. See slide 47 for more information.
Prepare for Single-Use Packaging
Restrictions by 2030
The PPWR bans several unnecessary single-use formats like grouped packaging,
HORECA single-use condiments, sachets, fruit/veg packaging. See full list on Slide
46.
Implement Tracking & Digital IDs
Reuse systems require traceability; Reusable packaging must be labelled with
additional information available via QR code. See more information on Slide 11.

Reverse logistics required; transport packaging between sites must be 100%
reusable by 2030.
