This grant is run by Innovate UK, as part of their Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging Challenge.
The aim of this competition is to support business-led projects that demonstrate a reuse or refill packaging system for liquid food and beverage products at scale in a retail chain.
Grants are available for projects that enable liquid products currently sold in Single Use Packaging to be purchased in refillable packaging. Packaging can be either already pre-filled or refilled in store for liquids including milk, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages and sauces.
Your project must be or involve at least one large retail chain as project lead or grgrant-fundedartner. You must include five or more stores as part of an in-store pilot, lasting at least six months.
