The three main drivers are environmental regulations (government/EU), logistics efficiency for profit optimization, and customer expectations for sustainability.

How do governmental regulations influence beverage logistics?

Laws and EU directives mandate recycling quotas and waste reduction, forcing companies to implement efficient collection, cleaning, and refilling systems for bottles and containers.
