Remaking Maine: A Journey into Reuse

Maine is generating more waste per capita over time and studies estimate single-use packaging materials make up a large amount of the trash we send to landfills and incinerators. We’re joined by University of Maine professor Dr. Cindy Isenhour to discuss what Mainers can do about this by moving toward reusable packaging programs in restaurants and other local businesses. Isenhour leads research efforts on sustainable consumption, reuse, and building a circular economy at UMaine. **Show links: UMaine Reusable Packaging Resource Guide , UMaine Reusable Packaging Research Project , NRCM Sustainability Grants , State of Maine Community Action Grants **Support NRCM: become a member today or sign up to receive email updates . ***Follow NRCM on socials @nrcmenvironment
