Material Reuse Work Group

NERC’s Materials Reuse Work Group meets to support peer learning and collaboration around material reuse. The group helps shape NERC’s reuse-focused forums and webinars while also providing space to share market updates, emerging technologies, policy developments, and challenges related to reuse. For this work group, material reuse includes both the reuse of durable goods—such as construction materials, household items, electronics, textiles, and furnishings—and the design and production of materials intended for repeated reuse. The work group serves as an ongoing platform for members to stay informed, exchange ideas, and strengthen reuse systems across the region with the development of the forums.

Material Reuse Forums

NERC, with the assistance of a Planning Committee of reuse practitioners from around the country, is in the process of planning a series of free, quarterly Deep Dive Forums. These virtual discussions will focus on the role of material reuse organizations in working with and building the resiliency of local communities. The presenters to be featured will talk in-depth about the programs they’ve developed to provide resources and serve the needs of residents, work toward policy solutions, and create economically viable systems.
