FOR REUSE PRACTITIONERS
Reuse Roundtables
Join with other Reuse Practitioners to network, collaborate, share resources, and feel less alone! We currently host an in person Reuse Roundtable in Sonoma County and are starting a virtual Creative Reuse Center Roundtable in the Spring of 2024.
Reuse Research
Reuse Alliance is working to establish metrics, and collect and analyze data for reuse. Because the positive impacts of reuse are environmental, economic, and social, we need better data in all three areas. In the meantime, here are some resources with helpful existing data to build the case for growing the reuse economy:
Environment
Reuse is not a waste issue, it's a consumption issue.
Environmental Impact Assessment of Household Consumption Study
EPA GHG Equivalencies Calculator
Economy
