Recyclable Haagen-Dazs containers
How it works
Just like milkman
A US recycling firm TerraCycle Loop says a major Canadian retailer is about to sell food in reuseable containers. The so-far unnamed retailer is said to be slated to launch a test of reusable packaging in Toronto. It’s identity is expected to be unveiled this spring, with online operations starting by year-end, says TerraCycle’s founder. Toronto shoppers would buy Unilever, Nestle, Procter & Gamble goods with Loop packaging in late 2019. The scheme is often compared to the glass milk bottle of 70 or 80 years ago. The milkman delivered his goods and took away empties. In the new model, as seen in the schematic upper right, Loop picks up collected containers and organizes them for-use by manufacturer. CBC
