WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE REUSE AN EVERYDAY REALITY?
Read data and insights from the Petaluma Reusable Cup initiative, the first initiative to offer reusables to consumers across a citywide network as the free, default option.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR OUR REUSE ACTIVATIONS?
Building on nearly a decade of reuse activations—including our large-scale citywide reusable cup program in Petaluma—we are now launching an even bigger initiative, expanding reuse programs across multiple U.S. cities.
