hierarchy – reuse should be prioritised over recycling, and reduction should take precedence over reuse. “33% per cent of the material analysed was considered to have a low likelihood of reusability; 42% a medium level of reusability, and 26% a high level of reusability,” Steve Gough, CEO at Valpak.

Valpak would like to invite any stakeholders who have any data or insight that could be valuable to a potential second phase of this project to approach Valpak to discuss collaboration.”
