Sydney Harris, Upstream’s interim Strategic Policy Advisor, walks us through the many reuse policy victories to celebrate from 2022.

Today, Upstream released a new white paper: The New Reuse Economy: How reuse systems and services will revolutionize how we consume – which expands upon their vision to see 30% of consumable goods sold in reusable formats in the U.S. and Canada by 2030.

We’re excited to bring you into the conversation about an updated direction for Upstream and what we’re working to accomplish in the world.
