Hi- Happy Monday!

Does anyone know if there is an open-source list of manufacturers that have take-back programs? Looking for a summary/spreadsheet with details (costs, qty, etc). I have a small list but I'm guessing there is already one out there...

Also, Doesn't stage D in LCA account for take-back programs? Could this be something that EC3, Building Transparency or other EPD collections could filter out? Little confused as to why we can't clearly and more easily get this information. Maybe AI isn't there yet...

Maybe the go to spot is on All for ReUse? I don't see many manufacturing take-back programs on that list though...

Thanks for any insights.

Stephanie

We’ve been building a database of vendors supporting a circular economy. This includes refurbished furniture and building material vendors as well as takeback programs and not for profits accepting larger scale donations. See attached.

Hi Stephanie, Would love to have this included in the reuse ecosystem map! (that was started as part of one of our BG workgroups and perhaps we can revive in the new year - will post on the page) Since it's been a crowdsourced effort it's not comprehensive but people are welcome to contribute the resources you know about with EPR programs! Lisa, I've emailed you and would be happy to chat more on how to connect your list to the map if you're open to it : )
