Project Abstract

This project will inform the value of rolling out a full scale quality mark programme, without incurring the full cost of doing so. If successful, this quality mark can be rolled out across the reuse sector. A quality mark can bring many benefits to reuse organisations and the environment including driving demand for reused goods both from consumers and government procuring bodies, as well as raising operational and governance standards for organisations. By supporting demand for reuse, this would promote jobs and economic growth in this sector. Results will be disseminated through journals, conferences and the CRNI network.
