GoUnpackaged

The complexity of this journey to challenge what’s possible has only been made possible thanks to the many people involved, from teams both internal & external. It’s been a privilege to be a small part of this launch. Huge congrats to Gabriela Rodrigues, Laura Fernandez, GoUnpackaged, Polytag Limited, The Refil Coalition, Pure, Tracey Townsend, Michael Williment and hundreds of others who’ve all helped out along the way!

It's been absolutely brilliant to work alongside Ocado to deliver this project.

As part of The Refill Coalition, Ocado Retail has today announced a pilot of a new ‘pre-fill’ reusable packaging scheme. The new reusable range will include frequently purchased items: Ocado Reuse Basmati Rice 2kg Ocado Reuse Penne Pasta 1kg Ocado Reuse Non-Bio- Liquid Detergent 3L Ocado Reuse Skies Fabric Conditioner 3L reducing the use of single-use plastic on everyday items whilst providing the same quality and value. The standardised pre-filled reusable container is a mini version of the reusable vessel already trialled in-store by @AldiUK The trial begins today with dry goods and liquids will follow soon! Type 'reuse' into the Ocado search bar for more info. If every household in the UK refilled just one item per week, this would eliminate over 1.4 billion items of single-use packaging per year (Based on 2022 ONS figure of 28.2 million households in the UK). Read more about the launch at www.refillcoalition.com and we wish @Ocadouk every success! #RefillCoalition #SustainableRetail #Innovation #SupplyChain #Reuse

This succinctly sums up the enormously frustrating situation for those, like us, pioneering reusable solutions.... There is Innovate UK funding available, the solutions are proven and are scaleable, the problem of single use plastic is not going away...what more needs to happen before the large majority of retailers start to step up? #Reuse #SustainableInnovation #CircularEconomy #RefillCoalition https://lnkd.in/euKaf3vT

The Refill Coalition awarded Ambient Food Award at the Environmental Packaging Awards! 🎉 Last night, 26th June, the annual Environmental Packaging Awards were held at Park Plaza Victoria in London. 🌍 The awards programme recognises those who demonstrate a strong understanding of the environmental impact of packaging, while also recognising its vital role in protecting products. 🏆 This year’s winning solution was the reusable bulk vessel, developed by the Refill Coalition who made the following statement: "We are delighted to have our work developing a scalable solution for refills recognised with this prestigious award. As a Coalition we share the mutual objective of reducing single-use plastic packaging and believe that the solution we have developed presents a landmark opportunity for us to make a step change in the commercialisation of reusable packaging, which we know can play a significant role in the reduction of single-use plastic packaging.” For further information about the Refill Coalition’s work visit www.refillcoalition.com Aldi UK Ocado Retail CHEP Innovate UK Berry Global, Inc.
