The trend toward refillable and reusable packaging is gaining momentum as more companies explore ways to reduce their use of single-use, hard-to-recycle packaging. This growth is partly driven by the goal of the Plastic Pact to deliver reusable packaging by 2025. Many of these initiatives are coming from startup and smaller brands, but multinational companies are also beginning to test the waters with small-scale trials and pilots. The dry food, household, and health and beauty sectors are currently the most active in this area.

Leading multinational producer of consumer goods, Procter & Gamble, is partnering with Chilean start-up Mercado Circular to bring to Mexico its first refill point for products in reusable packaging. The pilot scheme will allow consumers in Mexico City to have access to the circular economy model that reuses packaging to eliminate single-use waste from the entire chain. This generates a positive environmental impact, being more economical by eliminating the cost of packaging. It is reported that a Mexican consumer throws away more than seven kilos of plastic bottles a year, and together they generate more than 780,000 metric tons annually. The first refill point is already operating in Mexico City and is located at the Walmart, Sam’s Club Santa Fe location and has refills of four P&G hair products from the Pantene, Head & Shoulders and Herbal Essences brands. Each bottle has a QR code to measure traceability and environmental impact.
Aroma Elite's Combi-Box is reusable, stackable, and recyclable.ThePackHubGerman Cosmetics Company Aroma Elite Wins Gold Award for Innovative Aluminum Packaging
Aroma Elite is a German manufacturer of natural cosmetics. The company recently won a gold at the German Packaging Awards for their “Combi-Box”. The Combi-Box is an innovative, practical, reusable aluminum packaging specially developed for the company’s solid natural cosmetic products. Individual Combi-boxes can be screwed together, while the use of aluminum promotes sustainability because the material is light, robust and 100% recyclable. This reduces CO2 emissions and protects the environment compared to conventional plastic packaging. Because the Combi-Boxes can be screwed together, it can also be used as a practical travel set and takes up less space when stored. The Combi-Box is also easy to clean by simply rinsing it under a jet of water. The company says that its goal is to offer sustainable, practical and, at the same time, aesthetic product packaging that has a positive impact on the environment.

To reduce its impact on the environment, the new men’s fragrance from French luxury fashion house Yves Saint Laurent MYSLF, has a refill option.
