Repair, Share, & Reuse Impact in Washington
We’re conducting research in Washington to develop a Reuse Impact Calculator — a standardized tool designed to streamline the collection and analysis of data around the social, economic, and environmental benefits of share, repair, and reuse activities.
We want to hear from all repair, share, and reuse practitioners (including governmental, for-profit, and nonprofit) such as:
> Community-based repair groups
> Libraries of things / tool libraries
> City / county government programs conducting repair / reuse activities
> Small repair shops & refurbishers
> Rental businesses
> Resale shops (e.g. – thrift and consignment stores)
> Creative reuse spaces
> Reclaimed building materials providers
> Upcycling businesses
> …and more! not sure if you fit into the categories above? reach out! info@repairreuse.org
Our goal is to create a practical and accessible tool that will:
- Standardize data collection: Establish consistent methods to track and analyze impact metrics.
- Inform decision-making: Provide clear insights that highlight the environmental and social benefits of reuse initiatives.
- Strengthen our community: Help promote best practices across the repair, reuse, and sharing sectors.
You can help by completing our short online survey that focuses on:
- > The methods you use for data collection and analysis.
- > Any challenges or issues you face in measuring impact.
- > Your perspective on how a standardized tool could support your work and the broader repair, share, reuse sector.
Your insights will directly influence the development of the Reuse Impact Calculator, ensuring it meets the needs of our vibrant community!
