๐ฅซโจ Imagine this: instead of tossing your empty jam jar away every time you run out, you return it to your local supermarket and pick up a freshly refilled one. If youโre in France, thatโs now a reality.
Back in 2019, TerraCycle introduced Loop, a reuse platform designed to bring durable, returnable packaging to everyday supermarket shopping. Think of it as a modern twist on the classic milkman model: customers return empty containers of everyday products to stores, Loop cleans and refills them, and the cycle continues.
Fast forward to today, and Loop has reached full commercial scale in France, with Carrefour France offering 370+ products in reusable packaging across 345 stores โ proving that reuse can work for mainstream retail.

And what does this mean for Australia?
