The toolkit targets businesses and communities to encourage and set up returnable packaging schemes. It is one of six projects around the UK funded by Hubbub and Starbucks’ Bring It Back Fund, which was set up to fund innovative solutions and systems for sustainable packaging in the food and drink industry.
Stuart Dawks, CEO at PECT, said: “We are excited to launch our PECT Bring it Back toolkit, based on the successful learnings of our pilot schemes, which have been run at various locations across the region for the last year. It’s a fantastic starting point for any organisation looking to start a reusable packaging scheme.”
Gavin Ellis, director and co-founder of Hubbub, added: “Hubbub set up the Bring It Back Fund with Starbucks to support innovation in reuse. We are pleased the learnings PECT has acquired through their trials are now going to benefit other organisations and businesses. We hope many will be inspired to set up their own reuse schemes to tackle single-use packaging.”
