Systems for reusing packaging (e.g., refillable bottles laundry detergent) have the potential to reduce plastic waste and lower environmental impact of delivering products consumers. However, despite reusable packaging, uptake reuse systems is typically low so present research investigated whether informing consumers about these benefits increases their willingness engage with systems. A total 969 participants were asked imagine buying consumer products, such as detergent in bottles, then randomly allocated either receive information on benefit (i) using scheme, (ii) scheme a whole, or (iii) no information. The findings suggested that increased consumers’ awareness but did not increase use This finding underscores need strategies go beyond mere dissemination information, circumvent obstacles prevent willing from enacting desirable behaviours.
