reusable_packaging is the common prefix for tags that describe whether a place (shop, restaurant or similar) accepts reusable containers from their customers and/or proposes some:

• reusable_packaging:accept=*
• reusable_packaging:offer=*

Do not tag reusable_packaging=* directly!

What is reusable packaging?

Reusable containers have to be strong enough to be really usable multiple times, e.g.:

• a glass jar
• a ceramic mug
• a strong-plastic box, bowl or cup
• a fabric bag

Paper bags, plastic bags and single-use plastic bottles are not considered strong enough to be reusable.

A reusable container can either be a deposit (customer purchases the container and gets the money back when bringing it back), or something like a glass jar that the customer doesn't have necessarily to bring back but that could be reused for another shop or purpose.

Examples

• a shop that accepts that customers use their own container: reusable_packaging:offer=no & reusable_packaging:accept=yes
• a shop that sells some products with a deposit or that provides a reusable packaging and accepts the customer's ones: reusable_packaging:offer=yes & reusable_packaging:accept=yes
• a shop that sells all its products with a deposit or a reusable packaging and accepts the customer's ones: reusable_packaging:offer=only & reusable_packaging:accept=yes
• a shop that sells all its products with a deposit or that provides the reusable packaging for all products and accept customer's ones: reusable_packaging:offer=only & reusable_packaging:accept=only
• a shop that proposes some of its products with a deposit or that provides the reusable packaging for some of its products and accept customer's ones: reusable_packaging:offer=yes & reusable_packaging:accept=only
• a shop that sells all its products accepting only reusable containers but that doesn't provide any: reusable_packaging:offer=no & reusable_packaging:accept=only
• a shop that sells all its products with a deposit or that provides the reusable packaging for all products but doesn't accept that customers bring their own: reusable_packaging:offer=only & reusable_packaging:accept=no
• a shop that sells some products with a reusable packaging but doesn't accept that customers bring their own: reusable_packaging:offer=yes & reusable_packaging:accept=no
• a shop that doesn't accept reusable container at all: reusable_packaging:offer=no & reusable_packaging:accept=no
