Abstract
As packaging waste continues to pollute the environment, moving away from single-use packaging is no longer optional but a necessity. Reusable packaging systems (RPSs) have emerged as a promising solution to reduce the waste generated by everyday consumption. Yet, consumer acceptance and long-term adoption remain significant challenges. This dissertation takes a consumer-centred perspective, exploring what motivates and hinders consumers from choosing RPSs over single-use packaging, which strategies can encourage sustained use, and how design can foster future innovation in this field.
