Concept

The idea

Innovation concepts for packaging reduction, reusable formats, refill systems, return loops and service architecture designed around practical consumer and B2B adoption.

Reusable and refillable packaging formats
Return, collection and service loops
Material and usability concepts
B2B, retail and public-system applications

How the project could develop

From idea to practical implementation.

What the project addresses

Packaging systems increasingly need to reduce material intensity and support reuse or refill without sacrificing usability, hygiene, logistics or brand experience.

Our approach

Develop packaging as a product-service system linking container design, refill or return mechanics, cleaning/logistics, user behaviour and commercial incentives.

Possible applications

Potential pathways include packaging suppliers, retailers, food-service operators, brands, public systems and licensing partners.

Possible next steps

Possible directions for further work.

Further work can take different forms depending on the project, its stage and its goals. Possible steps include:

01
Use caseClarify the objective, intended user and what a useful result would look like.
02
Container & loopDevelop a practical technical concept and, where relevant, a workable implementation or commercial model.
03
Pilot operationsExplore the main uncertainties using the method best suited to the project: calculations, prototype work, data review or a pilot.
04
Scale-up economicsUse what is learned to decide whether and how to move forward — independently, with partners or through another route.

Collaboration

Potential collaborators.

Potential pathways include packaging suppliers, retailers, food-service operators, brands, public systems and licensing partners.
