Every year, we produce over 300 million tons of plastic, and a lot of it is for single use.
We cannot escape plastic pollution, nor can we recycle our way out of this global crisis.
Our planet, our economies, our health, and our communities cannot wait.
We need reuse systems now.
The urgency of addressing plastic pollution demands swift and decisive action. The current environmental crisis calls for immediate adoption of REUSE systems to create a lasting impact.
Waiting is not an option.
To reduce Plastic Pollution, we need to make Reuse Systems the norm.
Every sector plays a crucial role, for example:
Governments
Championing the charge with policies and regulations
Corporations
Investing in authentic, impactful, reuse systems solutions
Businesses
Pioneering innovation to set new industry standards
Communities
Celebrating reuse systems
The change we want to see:
Reuse is part of everyday life in all sectors, all communities.
Why Reuse?
Reuse systems are accessible, affordable, and make people’s lives easier. Though the transitioning from single use plastics (SUPs) takes time, the transition process is clear, just, and grounded in shared principles, cross-sector collaboration, and place-based solutions.
