Explore how reusable beverage shells can deliver big savings and sustainability gains
Wis-Pak, a leading bottler cooperative in the Pepsi system, partnered with Rehrig Pacific to conduct a detailed cost-benefit analysis to determine the most cost-effective packaging solution. By comparing reusable beverage shells with one-way packaging, the study revealed that sticking with reusables saved Wis-Pak approximately $3.4 million, even with the added costs of transferring and sorting shells across seven manufacturing plants. This decision also contributed to sustainability by reducing waste, with reusable shells lasting over 100 trips. Download the full case study below.
