Choose to Reuse
WFA has teamed up with Metro's Choose to Reuse campaign. In 2026, they'll lead 6 community outreach events that provide resources to restaurants so that they can legally accept reusable containers. In addition, WFA is leading the Choose to Reuse pilot program that will transition a food cart pod from single use to durable containers for onsite dining.

Community Events
From our policy choices to our entrepreneurs, Oregon is one of the most progressive states in waste reduction. Part of WFA's mission is to connect the many different aspects of Oregon's waste reduction community. We host a yearly Celebration of Innovation where we highlight the people, organizations, government sectors, and businesses doing great work. Through events like the Conscious Coffee Fest and a learning opportunity with Revino, we also find ways to connect the community with people making changes in their industry.
Low-Waste Education
WFA works to inform and inspire the community about the importance of recycling, reuse, recirculation and repair. We do this through our newsletters, videos, tabling, and social media. We also collaborate with local businesses as grant partners to help spread the word about new reuse systems available in the community.
