The methodology behind the business cases
The BUDDIE-PACK project will develop solutions for reusable plastic packaging (RPP) in order to substitute single use plastic packaging in six market applications, encompassing daily-life uses of plastic packaging for food and home care goods.
Business cases will cover two possible methods for the packaging return:
-
on site, which allows excellent traceability;
-
from home, which presents an additional security risk since consumers' use at home is not traceable.
RPP decontamination and safety control strategies will differ accordingly: site returns allow more flexible decontamination measures while home returns require tighter decontamination and monitoring.
The 6 business cases
BUDDIE-PACK will demonstrate the packaging designs, drivers to change consumers' behaviour and business models through six business cases, each one led by a company:
- Semi-rigid skin pack for meat distribution (DAWN MEATS)
- Semi-rigid catering trays at schools and nursing homes (AUSOLAN)
- Pre-packed food in supermarkets (UZAJE)
- Catering trays for takeaway food consumption (VYTAL)
- Refill & reusable packaging for detergents (ASEVI & SMURFIT KAPPA / Bag-in-Box container)
Each business case will involve several phases to ensure the respect of clients' needs and iteratively optimise RPP design and manufacturing.
The technical specifications and the logistic flows of the 6 case-studies are the following:
