Bibliography

This Technical Report gives methods of assessing the performance of a reuse system related to the proportion of reused packaging in use. This may be measured by:-the average number of rotations during a calculation period and the lifetime; or-the reuse ratio.The choice of method will vary according to the type of reuse system and information available.
