An exploratory study to identify the barriers and enablers for plastic reduction in packaging

© 2019, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. How do we reduce plastic content in packaging? To answer this question, this paper did three case studies with packaging supply companies. It investigated the barriers and enablers of plastic reduction in packaging by using a grid. Factors have been summarised, categorised, and discussed. It is clear that there are certain enablers who can surely help companies to reduce plastic usage. Because of the size of the company, some barriers in one company can be enablers in others. The research findings can help companies take as a reference when they make strategies specifically for plastic reduction
