Reusables Workshops Gone Wild!

Okay, so both "explosion" and "gone wild" may be a little theatrical, but the only way I'll ever generate any advertising revenue from this site is to improve the click-through totals.

Greed aside, there can be no denying that the next few months will bring on an unprecedented bloom of reusables workshops, in industries including dairy, bakery, beverageautomotive, and of course a major event presented by the Reusable Packaging Association. 

In aggregate this convergence of events must be considered a win for the reusable transport packaging community. The most important components of succeeding with reusables are to celebrate successes, raise awareness, and to build momentum. That being said, please check out the links below, and attend one of these sessions if you can. You might consider advising your trading network stakeholders or customers about applicable meetings. Feel free to forward this newsletter (see forward button at bottom).

Myself, I plan on attending the RPA and hope to touch base with several Reusable Packaging News subscribers. I also anticipate having news to report from the other events as well.
