📢🎧 Our latest podcast episode is out now! In this episode of The Reloop Brief, we offer an exciting sneak peek at Reloop’s upcoming Global Deposit Dashboard, set to launch in April 2025. Barry Snedden is joined by Samantha Millette, author of the newly updated Global Deposit Book 2024, and Jason Wilcox, the architect behind Reloop's innovative dashboards, to discuss how this new tool could transform how policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders study and compare Deposit Return Systems worldwide. From compiling massive amounts of data, tracking return rates to examining what sets high-performing systems apart, this episode highlights how the dashboard’s interactive features could make extensive and complex DRS data more accessible and actionable than ever before. 🎧 Listen now on all platforms - or here: https://bit.ly/3RvxJ4y #ReloopBrief #GlobalDepositBook #CircularEconomy #DepositReturnSystems

Since its release in December, Reloop’s Global Deposit Book 2024 has received widespread attention. Based on valuable feedback, we’ve published an Addendum to address minor corrections and clarifications. The fully updated report is now available. 📌 Access the Addendum and updated report here: https://lnkd.in/gbucqyWb Also, in case you missed it, we recently released a separate document summarising key updates and developments in deposit return systems since the report’s publication. You can find it at the same link above.

🚨 Just over a week until our next webinar. Secure your space today. There has been a lot of interest in this webinar so far. Please register so you don't miss out.

Last week, Reloop's Rob Kelman joined Zero Waste Network Aotearoa to discuss what a well-designed deposit return system would look like for New Zealand. 📺 Watch the entire session here: https://lnkd.in/etkhT3zz Polly Brownlee Sue Coutts

Reloop had the pleasure of participating in a thought-provoking event at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. The day brought together policy, art and history through a shared lens: plastics. It featured a lecture series alongside a guided tour of the 'Plastics: Bodies, Commodities, Fetishes from the Cold War to the Present' exhibition. The exhibition reflects on consumerism and pop culture across both affluent and marginalised societies, using a ‘plastic body’ metaphor for how imagery and desire reached people even behind the Iron Curtain. The lectures explored Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), with Professor Thomas Lindhqvist presenting the 'Why and How' of EPR and Reloop’s Anna Larsson offering insights on EPR trends in Europe. 🗣️ Commenting after the event, Anna said: “The EPR concept was developed because of the challenge with growing consumption and waste generation as well as some plastic packaging specs disabling recycling feasibility. The artistic expressions depicted at the Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej w Warszawie | Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw make us reflect on the unintended consequences of economic growth.” A powerful reminder of the complex relationship between design, consumption and waste to the policies that shape our response.

Since the release of Reloop's Global Deposit Book in December 2024, the momentum behind deposit return systems has grown 📈 We've compiled a summary of the major policy changes, system rollouts and regulatory updates in recent months. This update builds on the findings of the Global Deposit Book and highlights the evolving landscape of deposit systems worldwide. While not exhaustive, it captures the most significant developments confirmed since our report’s publication. 🚨 In the next few weeks, Reloop will also release a new Global Deposit Dashboard offering a dynamic, interactive view of Global Deposit Data.

A full house and a resounding success for our recent event "From PPWR towards a circular economy" sponsored by SERRED the European association of industrial packaging reconditioners. We extend our sincere gratitude to MEP Ingeborg ter Laak for hosting the event and to Aurel Ciobanu-Dordea 🇪🇺 and Maja Desgrees du Lou (European Commission), Sonia Pastore (German Chemical Industry Association VCI) and Clarissa Morawski (Reloop) for making this conference a remarkable achievement. 💡It's clear: much like sales packaging, industrial packaging can also be collected, reconditioned and reused, with substantial material, energy and carbon savings compared to the recycling process. ♻️Since the 70's, SERRED members have reconditioned in an environmentally responsible way millions of drums and IBCs used in industry, extending their useful lives of many cycles and recycling them when reuse is no longer possible. MEP Ingeborg ter Laak truly captured the spirit of the event by reminding the audience that "reconditioners are part of the solution" and need to be supported with the right legal and market framework - not held back by overregulation. The Commission also declared that the reconditioning sector is a champion industry and encouraged SERRED to put its expertise and knowledge at the service of the upcoming secondary legislation. A huge thank you also to our moderator Patrice Audibert, former Head of office of PPWR Rapporteur MEP Frédérique Ries, for expertly guiding the conversation and his ability to engage the audience. Looking forward to more inspiring moments ahead!
