Reaching Zero Waste requires a new approach to how we buy, use, and dispose of everyday items, including how we give gifts! Instead of buying new things, choose products made of recycled content, second-hand items, or repair what you already own. You can also reduce waste by refusing what you don’t need or renting what you won’t use every day. The Austin Reuse Directory makes it easy to find local businesses that sell pre-loved items or offer rental and repair services.
