Reuse is the continued use, repair, or repurposing of items or materials which extends the life of resources and decreases demand for new production. These activities result in environmental, economic, and social benefits.
With this study, Reuse Minnesota intended to refine the methodologies of previous studies conducted by
Reuse Minnesota and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The goals were to obtain updated results on the statewide impacts of reuse and create a user-friendly tool that will allow Reuse Minnesota to replicate the study in future years.
Reuse Minnesota contracted Eunomia Research & Consulting (Eunomia), an international circular economy consulting firm, to conduct this study.
