Fight Plastic Pollution
Serve up reuse
A reuse system is a coordinated process where that plate—or a cup, container, or utensils—is washed and used again and again. Reuse stops waste before it begins, instead of trying to manage it after the damage is done. This campaign works to bring reuse to our communities.
