Hi everyone, this is really happening! More companies are cropping up that do reusables and I put together a showcase with Beyond Plastics a week from today that highlights some solutions that you can partake in. It's also an official climate week event! Details are below:
Zero Waste Showcase 2 Wednesday Sept 30th 7pm EST
Event link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/zero-waste-showcase-2-tickets-119519250295
Reusable Solutions, Beyond Plastics, and the Climate Group cordially invite you to the second virtual “Zero-Waste Showcase.” The showcase will include the participation of up to four companies that operate in New York City. They will present their products or service, how they reduce waste, and take questions from the audience. Each company will have 10 -20 minutes to present, followed by a Q&A . It’s a unique opportunity to discover and connect with businesses that are trying to take waste out of the waste stream and make the world a cleaner place.
Sign up here and we'll send you a link to the zoom event. All donations will go to Beyond Plastics. Viva la reusable revolution.
About the hosts
Reusable Solutions
Reusable Solutions is an outreach organization that represents businesses in the reusables space. We believe that business can be a crucial part of transition from a linear to a circular economy that this planet so desperately needs. Part of that transition is connecting reusable businesses with consumers through a community-based, grassroots process. By reusable businesses we mean those who are diverting waste from recycling and landfill. We are working to eradicate single use plastic in NYC and beyond.
