A Local Reuse Initiative Highlight

Over the last few years—with increased awareness of the issues with single-use plastic, litter, the fraught recycling industry, and the financial and environmental costs of procurement and waste management—reuse concepts have been making notable gains.

Since Upstream’s Reuse Solutions Network began in 2019, it has grown in membership from a couple dozen to 1300+ advocates, government representatives, NGOs, and reuse entrepreneurs, with new sign ups every week. We have also identified over 35 local reuse groups and coalitions working across the US & Canada. As of now, we’ve tracked 114 total reuse laws in the US & Canada, covering 23% of the total population. Many of these reuse policies can be attributed to the work of local coalitions representing dozens of grassroots organizations, who have the insight and relationships needed to make change on-the-ground.

In light of all this activity, this summer we are spotlighting some local reuse initiatives in order to share insights and learnings other community groups can leverage for their own success. Featured here: Central Ohio Reuse Coalition’s Reuse Pilot at Coffee Shops.
