Chemical distribution moves product in reusable totes already, yet the surrounding packaging is often single-use plastic that accrues EPR fees the logistics manager did not budget for.
The fee on the wrapper

Pain: unbudgeted EPR
Chemical logistics plans for drum return, not packaging return, so the film and cap packaging fees land as surprise overhead.
