In their own words

“RREUSE is Europe’s largest network of social enterprises active in the circular economy. We focus on reuse, repair, and recycling. Our mission is to empower, represent, and support the social and circular enterprise community. We help drive its development through effecting positive change in European policy, facilitating the exchange of best practices, and fostering meaningful partnerships.”

“Social enterprises in our network annually collect over 1,3 million tonnes of goods with the intention of reuse. They provide jobs, skills, and training opportunities to over 120,000 individuals, the majority of whom are at risk of social exclusion and face barriers in the mainstream labour market. On average, RREUSE members create 70 inclusive, local jobs per 1,000 tonnes of goods they collect with the intention of giving them a second life through reuse.”
