1 in 3 consumers want reusable packaging for online purchases

Some who opted for reusable packing did so due to incentives.

One in three consumers in Singapore will opt for reusable packaging for their online purchases if given the option.

This was revealed through the pilot initiative of the World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) - Singapore, which aimed to promote the scalability of reusable e-commerce packaging in the country.

Over 15,000 orders were processed during its six-month pilot, which began in April 2022.

The post-pilot survey showed that 81% of the customers who opted for reusable packaging attributed their decision to sustainability concerns, whilst some (37%) did so due to incentives such as discounts.

Those who did not opt for reusable packaging were unaware of the option.

Meanwhile, the pilot also demonstrated an average return rate of 56% across retailers.

Retailers who engaged in active consumer education and sent return reminders witnessed an increased return rate and a reduced time taken for returns by 30%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
