1 REUSE SUMMIT STATE OF Tuesday, June 21, 2016 Distillery District, Archeo Room REUSE REPORT 8:00 a.m. 12:00 p.m. It s Time to Rethink Reuse TM In collaboration with:
2 DEAR ATTENDEES, Welcome to our first-ever Reuse Summit! We are appreciative that you could join us today for this important conversation has been a busy year at Value Village. Beyond changing our logo and opening new stores, we launched our Rethink Reuse campaign in April. This campaign is focused on getting people to recognize the massive impact their clothing has on the environment and offering them a solution: to Rethink Reuse. Additionally, the National Zero Waste Council s Circular Economy Working Group recently identified textiles and clothing as a future area of focus to prevent unnecessary waste throughout Canada. To continue momentum, we teamed up with the council to bring you together today to encourage dialogue, action and collaboration to help steer Canadians toward a culture of reuse in the clothing and textile sector. Furthermore, we want to share findings from our State of Reuse Report, a study that takes a closer look at clothing consumption, waste and the reasons people do and do not reuse and recycle textiles. We found that the main barrier to practicing reuse stems from misconceptions around donating and purchasing pre-owned goods. These misconceptions are an opportunity to further educate people on why they should rethink reuse. Our goal today is not only to inform you of the massive problem clothing and textile waste poses, but to discuss what we can do collectively through our business, political and organizational channels to curb our clothing footprint and encourage people to think twice about throwing away their unwanted items. Thank you for taking the time to join us today. We look forward to the discussion and to seeing what steps we can take collectively to act on this important issue. Sincerely, Tony Shumpert Vice President, Recycling and Reuse, Value Village Malcolm Brodie Chair, National Zero Waste Council
