A responsible commitment
Réutilisons facilitates the reuse of goods that are still useful so their value can circulate among organizations, partners and communities. Through this approach, the initiative creates economic, social and environmental benefits that reinforce one another. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are designed as an integrated framework: they seek balance among the economic, social and environmental dimensions. It is therefore relevant to classify Réutilisons' outcomes into these three areas while recognizing that one action can contribute to several goals.
Economic
Preserve the value of goods
Reuse allows organizations to extract more value from goods they already own. By facilitating the circulation of usable furniture, equipment and supplies, Réutilisons helps limit certain new purchases and supports a more circular economy.
This helps to:
- • Reduce certain expenses related to acquiring goods.
- • Optimize the use of existing resources.
- • Facilitate exchanges among organizations.
- • Keep value circulating within the local economy.
Associated SDGs: 8, 9, 11 and 12.
Social
Spread mutual aid
An item that is no longer useful to one organization can become an important resource for another. Réutilisons connects contributors, nonprofits, institutions and organizations that can give available goods a second life.
This helps to:
- • Support nonprofits and community organizations.
- • Provide material resources to organizations that need them.
- • Strengthen collaboration among stakeholders in the same territory.
- • Showcase committed organizations and partners.
Associated SDGs: 10 and 17.
Environmental
Extend the useful life of goods
Reuse is at the heart of responsible resource management. When a functional item finds a new organization, its useful life is extended and reliance on end-of-life solutions is reduced.
This helps to:
- • Prioritize reuse before other disposal options.
- • Reduce the quantity of goods sent for disposal.
- • Avoid buying new goods to replace items that are still usable.
- • Prioritize recycling or recovery when reuse is not possible.
Associated SDGs: 12 and 13.
Reuse: a priority in the hierarchy of the 3RV-E
Réutilisons' approach follows the 3RV-E hierarchy. Réutilisons primarily works at the reuse stage by connecting organizations with usable goods to those ready to give them a second life.
