Reuse Aotearoa are an independent social enterprise at the forefront of reusable packaging research and conversations in New Zealand. Our mission is to scale up reusable packaging systems across Aotearoa, aiming for 30% market share in fast-moving consumer goods and takeaways by 2030. Through evidence-based research, we’re filling crucial knowledge gaps about reusable packaging opportunities in both B2B and B2C sectors.
Our work spans multiple regions, from Auckland, Waikato & Tauranga to Nelson/Tasman, providing tailored insights for local and central government, as well as businesses and community. We’re currently exploring measurement methods for reusable packaging impact in the grocery sector and investigating agricultural reusable packaging solutions in the Waikato region. Beyond research, we focus on communicating findings and fostering collaboration through webinars, blogs, and workshops.
Tauranga City Council is very happy to acknowledge Reuse Aotearoa’s useful insights, extensive industry knowledge and research experience. Their small but powerful team is moving the needle on the story of waste in Aotearoa.
