As we’ve shared in the previous two ORBIS podcasts, reusable packaging offers advantages across your supply chain, including increased productivity, less impact on the plant and rapid payback. And to gain these advantages right away, companies are seeking to efficiently convert to reusable packaging as quickly as possible.

However, the question remains: How do you make the switch to reusable packaging simple for your operations?

Bob Klimko, Director of Market Development at ORBIS, joins Michael Levans, Group Editorial Director of Peerless Media’s Supply Chain Group in a discussion on the key steps necessary to convert your operation to reusable packaging.

The conversation covers some best practices, including communicating your vision, finding advocates in your business to help in the transition, determining automation requirements…all the way through to piloting and implementing a trial reusable program.
