In just two months, REUSE MAP, Valorsul's circular economy platform, has already identified 500 points where citizens are invited to change their behaviour, and they can find out via the website which places near them they can start reusing materials now. More than just a website, the platform is an invitation with 500 reasons to join this circular revolution - all at the click of a button.
REUSE MAP was launched by Valorsul in November and since then it already has 270 users and 500 locations identified as reuse points. The website is visited on a daily basis by citizens who frequently search the network for the locations that have been identified, but also for news highlights that include an agenda of events dedicated to reuse - such as boot fairs and second-hand goods markets.
Each point mapped by REUSE MAP represents a new opportunity to reduce waste and combat CO2 emissions. As well as connecting people and initiatives, the platform quantifies the positive impact generated, proving that sustainability is more than an ideal - it's a reality that we can all build together. To date, Valorsul can identify that 24,723 tonnes of CO2 have already been avoided through 1,371 tonnes of reused objectives.
Since its launch, the platform has been increasing its reach, inspiring citizens, companies and organisations to adopt more ecological and conscious practices. Now is the time to act and contribute to a collective transformation that benefits everyone.
