Reuse Seattle is a public-private partnership among the City of Seattle; the city’s major sports and entertainment venues; restaurants and businesses; PR3; and a growing list of new partners. They’re working to create practical solutions and standardized systems to help the city’s businesses and residents move from single-use to reuse – making it accessible, affordable, and convenient for everyone. They’re also one of the most recent to join Upstream’s national network of reuse coalitions. Meet Reuse Seattle’s leaders Stephanie Thomas of Cascadia Consulting and Pat Kaufman of Seattle Public Utilities as they describe the city’s exciting evolution toward reuse for all – and the power of partnerships in getting there.
