The publication entitled "Returnable packaging systems and store operations: Processes, costs, and benefits", published in the renowned Journal of Industrial Ecology, promises a valuable insight into this important area of economic ecology. In collaboration with Ina Marie Raible, Christina Holweg and Gerald Reiner, Professor Teller presents a comprehensive analysis that examines the processes, costs and benefits of recyclable packaging systems. These systems are increasingly seen as a promising way to reduce packaging waste and minimise the environmental impact of retail.

The authors look at different types of recyclable packaging systems and their implementation in shop processes. Not only ecological but also economic aspects are taken into account. This holistic approach promises valuable insights for retailers, packaging manufacturers and environmental activists alike.

The publication by Raible et al. is another important step towards a more sustainable future in retail. By highlighting the challenges and opportunities of recyclable packaging systems, the article helps to raise awareness of greener practices in the industry.
