Single-use plastic packaging is now firmly on the public's mind. Whilst government and industry have started to look for solutions, most innovation to date has focused on lightweighting, creating alternative single-use materials to SUPP or improving collection and recycling systems.While these are valuable improvements, Unpackaged believes the focus should be at the top of the waste hierarchy - i.e. the reduction, reuse and refilling of packaging - which would represent a true shift from a linear to a circular economy solution for plastic packaging.Refill (either in-store or at home) removes the need for single-use plastic packaging, as products are dispensed directly into customers' own reusable containers. If this concept were rolled out across mainstream supermarkets, it would dramatically reduce the amount of SUPP being placed on the market by UK retailers.With InnovateUK support, Unpackaged has assembled a Coalition of key UK retailers, a logistics partner and industry leading equipment manufacturers to design an optimised refill solution. This solution will be tested via a multi-retailer, multi-site, live Demonstrator Trial looking at everything from operational viability to consumer engagement and take-up.This will be the most ambitious collaborative cross-sector refill project to date, both in the UK and globally; and an example of how competitors can collaborate to solve the single-use plastic packaging crisis.

单一使用塑料包装现在牢固地牢牢牢牢地牢记。尽管政府和工业已经开始寻找解决方案，但迄今为止的大多数创新都集中在轻量级上，创建了替代性的一次性材料来提高indlos或改善收集和回收系统。尽管这些都是有价值的改进，但不公开的公路认为，重点应该是顶级的。在废物层次结构中 - 即包装的减少，再利用和补充 - 这将代表从线性到塑料包装的循环经济解决方案的真正转变。更改（店内或在家中）消除了一次性的需求塑料包装，因为产品直接分配到客户自己可重复使用的容器中。如果这个概念在主流超市都推出，它将大大减少英国零售商在市场上投放市场的数量。在Innovateuk的支持下，Untackaged已汇集了一个主要的英国零售商联盟，后勤伙伴和行业领先的设备制造商，以便设计优化的补充解决方案。该解决方案将通过多零售商，多站点实时演示者试验进行测试英国和全球；以及竞争对手如何合作解决一次性塑料包装危机的一个例子。
