The LGA’s Reuse Commission was established following a recommendation in the LGA’s ‘Wealth from Waste’ report in 2013 to explore proposals that would increase the reuse of products and unlock value for the tax payer. The Commission provided expert advice to the LGA which informed the conclusions which are set out in this report. What motivates consumers to reuse unwanted goods is complex. Reuse activity ranges from informal giving or donations to friends and family, to charitable giving, to more formal second-hand buying and selling. In this report we focus on the potential for increasing the proportion of household waste that is reused.
