Recycling is not the answer. Reuse is. | Amy Larkin | TEDxBoston
500 billion cups are thrown away every year. Just cups. The majority of them made from petroleum, used for five minutes, and discarded forever. We cannot recycle our way out of a problem of that scale, because even recycling is a single-use solution. Durable reuse infrastructure means buidling a network of standardized, returnable packaging systems that treat every container as an asset rather than waste. Reuse systems already exist in Colombia, Indonesia, the Netherlands, France, and beyond. Now, a remarkable coalition, from concert venues and multinationals to NGOs and governments, is actively building the standards and financing tools to scale these systems globally. Amy Larkin is a circular economy strategist and co-founder of PR3: Global Alliance to Advance Reuse, an organization that has assembled over 80 leaders to set the standards for a new global reuse industry. She has spent decades working at the intersection of business, environment, and systems change, and is a champion on reuse over recycling as the foundation of a sustainable packaging economy. Her work spans policy, finance, and corporate practice, and she has helped governments from Canada to Indonesia to Ukraine build frameworks for reuse at scale. Larkin is the author of "Environmental Debt: The Hidden Costs of a Changing Global Economy" and a longtime advisor to companies and institutions seeking practical paths to a circular economy.
