About event
The Portland REUSE Summit brings together leaders in Greater Portland's government, business, restaurant, environmental orgs, and the waste and recycling industry, to take a deep look at the potential of reuse foodware systems, and the impact that these systems can have on climate, litter, and business.
We'll examine how reusable foodware mandates have been incorporated into other city's Climate Plans, as well as existent policies for reuse at dine-in and large venues, and what kind of metrics have been seen on the effectiveness of these policies.
We'll look at emerging reuse businesses in Portland and discuss feasibility of growing the city's reuse economy and infrastructure. We'll also look at pilot projects that are being intoduced through Metro's new Choose to Reuse campaign.
There will be input from the city's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability on what path our city will need to take to begin implementing reuse policy. Time for breakout brainstorms will be included.
Organized by the Reusable Portland Coalition.
Coffee, pastries, and lunch is provided.
Free, but limited seating. Please RSVP asap. You must reserve your spot by November 13th.
