Research Urges Reusable Packaging Users to Curb Plastic Waste

  • A new study from the University of Sheffield is looking to investigate ways to combat plastic waste
  • The researchers are looking for participants to get involved who have experience of using reusable packaging, whilst shopping in supermarkets or online, ordering takeaway, or eating out
  • Households selected to take part in the project will be helping to influence the design of the reusable packaging systems of the future

Researchers at the university are working with partners from countries across Europe in the BUDDIE-PACK project to investigate how practical reusable plastic packaging could be on a larger scale.

The research aims to identify opportunities to encourage the use of reusable, sustainable, and customer convenient alternatives to single-use plastics.

The project is seeking participants to find out about the packaging they purchase and use. Qualifying households will take part in interviews and be accompanied on a shopping trip, among other activities, and will receive a £50 shopping voucher for their time.
