    Goals / Remit

    RREUSE is the European network of social environmental enterprises whose members are national and regional networks with activities in reuse, repair and recycling. RREUSE represents approximately 110,000 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) workers and over 150,000 volunteers working at around 1,100 social enterprises.

    RREUSE proactively participates in the process of shaping the European environmental legislation on sustainable management of resources, prevention of waste, reuse, repair, high-quality recycling, sustainable product policy and consumption patterns.

    Our mission is to lobby at the European level for stronger policies in favour of repair and reuse of end-of-life products so as to avoid that products become waste too early. In addition RREUSE also engages in social economy files with a focus on green employment linked to social inclusion and training initiatives for people who face barriers in accessing the mainstream labour market.

  • Meetings

    Meetings

    11 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
