Open Loop Glass Reuse for Small Food Vendors

Small vendors who sell honey, vinegar, and local products depend on glass jars. Without a reuse system, containers are lost, costs rise, and waste increases.

• Lower packaging costs for small food producers

• Create income for waste pickers through jar collection

• Keep glass out of dumps and waterways

• Shift producers to reusable containers

• Set up jar collection with waste pickers

• Train collectors to ensure high return rates
