Amcor supports city‑scale reusable packaging initiative in Ottawa

Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, is proud to participate in a groundbreaking city-scale packaging reuse project launching in Ottawa, Canada.

The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), in collaboration with Reposit and leading retailers, brands and solution providers, today announced plans for The Reuse City Canada Project — a city-scale initiative in Ottawa designed to enable consumers to buy, return and reuse everyday products across multiple retailers and brands.

Launching in Ottawa in Q3 2026, the project will test how reuse systems can operate at city scale in a way that is practical for consumers, viable for businesses and capable of generating credible learnings to inform replication in other cities and markets.

Participating retailers and brands include Loblaw, L’Oréal, P&G, Shoppers Drug Mart, Superstore, Unilever, Walmart Canada and Your Independent Grocer. The project is supported by partner solution providers, including Amcor and Avery Dennison, alongside Canadian circular economy partners Circulr and IBM.
