Our Mission
Reusable Silicon Valley is the combined efforts of individuals and organizations to reduce plastic pollution in the Silicon Valley region, including Santa Clara County and San Mateo County. We support reuse as a “triple win” solution to single-use plastic pollution that protects our health, helps secure a clean environment and saves our communities and local businesses money.
Our world is indisposable. Help us build a movement to make throwaway go away.

Plastic waste is set to nearly triple by 2060.
40%
of all plastic waste consists of packaging. Packaging is the largest market for plastic.
Globally, less than 10 percent of all plastic ever produced has been recycled.
Plastic is made from fossil fuels. Its production releases an estimated 1.7 billion metric tons of CO2 annually. These emissions contribute to climate change and pose a number of serious health risks to frontline communities.
IMAGINE
No more single-use plastic containers and plastic forks when you sit down to eat.

Single-use utensils and condiments only upon request.
No more drawers of unneeded plastic forks.
A huge reduction in the waste we all create.
Reusable Silicon Valley is working to eliminate our region's single-use foodware by championing a reusable culture.
There's a better way than throwaway.
