Consumer sentiment began to trend away from disposable packaging — particularly single-use plastics — over the past few years, as images of waterways choked in waste circulated in the media. Then came the novel coronavirus, and with it a resurgence in single-use systems. Knowing the coronavirus can survive on surfaces, many assume single-use items are inherently safer than reusable alternatives, but are they really? For Plastic-Free July, we’ll take a closer look at a circular model that ensures health and hygiene while providing an alternative to single-use. On July 22 at 2 p.m. ET, 3BL Media will join Anthony Rossi, vice president of global business development for the reusable packaging platform Loop, and Patrick Browne, director of global sustainability for Loop’s logistics partner, UPS. We’ll talk about what’s new with Loop, often dubbed the “21st-century milkman,� in the time of COVID-19 and explore how circular systems like these can change mindsets and avoid a backslide on plastic waste generation.
