Reusable Portland Coalition

The Reusable Portland Coalition works to establish Portland as a

leader in urban reuse initiatives and policy.

We're focused on reducing single-use foodware and packaging and

diverting the creation of waste through a circular economy.

We believe in a collaborative approach that unites Portland's

consumers, businesses, nonprofits and policymakers.

Our Steering Committee:

We advocate for Metro policy that:

Accelerates reuse in foodservice
Requires reusable foodware for onsite dining
Brings reuse into takeout and delivery

Endorse as a supporting group or organization

If you're an organization that stands with us in the work to replace single-use with durable, refillable systems, add your name to support our campaign for policy change.

Past Project:

The Portland Reuse Summit

In 2025, The Portland Reuse Coalition held the Portland Reuse Summit at the Kennedy School. It was a day-long exploration into how Portland Metro could act as a leader in reuse. Presentations were given by DEQ, the City of Portland, the Sustainability and Climate Commission, reuse service providers, the Story of Stuff, Upstream, Reuse Seattle, and Metro.
