Reuse systems for packaging focus on systems where packaging can be used multiple times for the same purpose. This helps reduce waste and the need for single-use materials. Here, consumers purchase products—often food or beverage, personal care, or household cleaning supplies—in reusable packaging instead of single-use packaging, and once the product is used, the packaging is cleaned for repeated use.

This abridged report presents a collection of case studies on pioneering reuse initiatives across Asia, shedding light on diverse approaches to reducing waste in the region. It serves as a practical guide for policymakers and other stakeholders seeking to implement effective reuse strategies.
