Why Reuse? Why NOT reuse?

According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, renewable energy will only help us achieve 55% of UN climate goals. The other 45%? It's on us: we have the power and influence to change how we produce, consume, and dispose of goods.

Our resources are finite. In fact, if we wanted to continue consuming and tossing out the way we have been, we'd need three planets by 2050.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. There’s a better way. That’s where the reuse movement comes in. Reuse isn't just a buzzword, it's a movement for systems change—reimagining the way we live and consume. It’s about embracing ingenuity to give things a second, third, fourth, fifth or hundredth life, repairing instead of tossing, conserving resources, and minimizing waste.

Reuse isn't just good for the planet—it's good for the economy, too. So if you think reuse is too hard, too expensive, or won't pay off for businesses, think again! And join the movement for a better way than throw-away.
