Retail Reuse
Collaboration

Consumers can drop the jars of participating local brands into a Bold Reuse drop site at any New Seasons Market. The jars are collected, sanitized, and brought back to the manufacturer to be refilled. WFA provided feedback during development, community outreach and video production services for the pilot.
