COMMUNITIES AND PEOPLE
THE GLOBAL REUSE SUMMIT 2023
In these sessions we dive into the vital role that communities play in driving the driving the transition from single-use to reuse – looking at work that’s happening around the world to support and empower communities to make a difference, exploring what we can learn from them, what support is needed, and together reimagining what the future could look like.

COMMUNITY CASE STUDIES
Brilliant stories of success and innovation from communities around the world.
The Global Reuse Summit takes place on World Refill Day – a global day of action to help people live with less waste.
Did you know that City to Sea is a charity too?
City to Sea is proud to bring you the world’s first ‘Global Reuse Summit’ this World Refill Day. Tickets are free but if you are able to, please consider making a suggested donation of £10 so we can continue to make space at the table for those communities who too often are on the side-lines when it comes to discussions on the plastic pollution that they are most impacted by.
(And, if you are a UK taxpayer, your gift will be eligible for Gift Aid, meaning we can claim an additional 25p for every £1 you spend with us, at no extra cost to you!)
