REUSE MAP is a Valorsul project that maps and publicizes all activities related to the reuse of materials and combating food waste in the 19 municipalities where Valorsul operates.
Here, citizens can search and locate, both in a list and on a map, various projects, stores and events dedicated to these practices , ensuring systematic access to information about the places where they can contribute ( both as a consumer and as a donor/seller ) to more sustainable consumption.
The great advantages of Reuse Map are:
- Easy and quick access to information thanks to the compilation of reuse points, allowing an efficient search for nearby services;
- Provision of quantitative data on reuse, avoided CO2 emissions and reuse points in the 19 municipalities where Valorsul operates;
- Highlighting some projects for their impact and importance in the reuse of different materials;
- Promoting the donation, reuse and repair of articles among the public through the widespread dissemination of information.
