This Earth Month (which begins today!) there\u2019s something new to celebrate! Eco-Cycle\u2014marking its fiftieth anniversary this year\u2014has teamed up with the City of Boulder<\/a> to launch the Reuse Hub for Boulder and Beyond<\/a>, a powerful new online platform designed to make reuse, refill, and repair easier than ever\u2014from Fort Collins to Boulder County, and down to Denver and Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s your go-to guide for all things reuse\u2014and saving money while you\u2019re at it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fresh Tool for a Growing Movement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The United States represents just 5% of the world’s population but consumes about 25% of its natural resources. Our current \u201ctake-make-waste\u201d system extracts materials, turns them into short-lived products, and discards them\u2014wasting resources, energy, water, and economic opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reuse is the next frontier of circularity. By switching from disposable products to reusables, we can create a new system of refill and return\u2014keeping materials in use longer, reducing pollution, supporting local jobs, and often saving money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Shoppers: Find Refill Groceries, Repair Services, Thrift Shops, Secondhand Stores, Used Furniture and More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the platform is the Routes to Reuse Map<\/a>, an interactive, searchable tool that helps you quickly answer a simple question: Where can I reuse, refill, repair, or share\u2014right now?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Routes to Reuse Map connects you to hundreds of options, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
