Formerly known as the National Reuse Network, the Reuse Solutions Network (RSN) is a community of NGOs, entrepreneurs, local organizations, community leaders, and governments working to catalyze reuse and create a world where reuse and refill are standard practice. The network supports leaders working across the U.S. and Canada to:  

• Learn and collaborate in a space that fosters insight into reuse policy and infrastructure solutions

• Share resources, tools, and best practices on source reduction and reuse/refill concepts

• Gather in dialogue with like-minded reuse leaders to support new initiatives

• Catalyze and pass policies that promote reuse and reduce single-use products and packaging

• Develop reuse infrastructure and financial opportunities for reuse initiatives

• Accelerate the growth of innovative reuse businesses

• For government leaders & employees: in combination with the RSN, Upstream also convenes 2-3 separate, annual dedicated sessions to focus on policy solutions and challenges—the Government Reuse Forum.

90-minute meetings are held every other month and focus on a specific topic, featuring guest speakers and presentations, followed by discussion/Q&A.
