Produce once, reuse maximally = one-time production costs, then "only" collection and service costs. This is why the return rate (Rq) is not only ecologically but also economically decisive: the higher the return rate, the more productive the packaging. The faster the cycle, the faster the renewed billing of the service.

To improve life cycle assessments within the system for all stakeholders, reusable packaging is needed that meets the requirements of the supply types AND the other three value domains. Raw material reduction is the role and task of packaging design for the respective food products and the system. Since the requirements of the value domains must be considered in packaging design, the ‘Reuse’ value domain is system-shaping.
The design of reusable packaging is not an isolated design or product decision for reuse in a given category. Packaging design sets the physical, operational and economic framework for the entire reuse system.
Material choice, form factor, durability, standardisation, and code placement determine how easily return, care and management are possible within the system. If a reusable package is not designed to be system-compatible, complexity and costs inevitably shift to the other value domains.

Packaging design defines how easily packaging can be recognised, returned and reverse-collected. Standardisation, robustness and clear identification are prerequisites for high return rates and convenient collection processes.
If packaging does not meet these requirements, return barriers increase — and with them system costs and losses.
Packaging design determines sorting effort, cleanability and pool lifespan. Complex materials, poorly separable components or low durability increase care costs and shorten the usage cycle.
Packaging design thus directly determines the economic viability of service operations.
Packaging design determines how well packaging can be captured, tracked and managed within the system. Clear identification and cycle stability are prerequisites for reliable inventory management, billing and partner coordination.
Without management-capable packaging design, system control becomes fragmented or manual.
These requirements show why reusable packaging design cannot be optimised without considering Collect, Service and Manage — and why Reuse plays a system-shaping role in the Operating Model.
