Project Abstract
This project will deliver both economic and environmental benefits. Businesses signed up with our system will enjoy significant cost savings on packaging. The breakeven cost point for an individual container occurs around the 17th use. Each additional use represents a cost saving of between �0.20 to �0.60 depending on the packaging previously used. With multiple containers over the course of a year, this represents a significant saving to a partner business. As part of this system, we will integrate a customer loyalty scheme to reward those choosing to reuse. CONTINUED IN EXTERNAL DOCUMENT
