What is a circular packaging system?

A circular packaging system keeps packaging in use for as long as possible through reuse, refurbishment, and recycling—rather than being discarded after one use. By keeping materials in circulation, businesses reduce waste, cut costs, and lower their carbon footprint. Be a company at the leading edge, with packages that go out, come back, and go out again. Circular. Trackable. The most sustainable way to do business.
