Reusable
Built to survive many use cycles, not just to be capable of a second one.
Reusable means the container is designed for repeated cycles: the strength, the closure, the cleaning behaviour and the handling all assume it comes back. It is a different claim from recyclable, which describes what happens at end of life.
