Reusable packaging systems on farms in the Waikato region

This report sought to understand current reusable packaging activity in the Waikato animal agricultural sector and the challenges and opportunities faced by the sector for establishing, sustaining, and scaling the uptake of reusable packaging; and to provide recommendations to support more reuse systems in the sector.

It presents part two of a three-part research project into reusable packaging in the Waikato region, commissioned by the Waikato Regional Council.

The report focuses on packaging used on farms to contain products such as baleage, agrichemicals, fertiliser, veterinary products and animal feed.
