Welcome to ReIY
ReIY - short for Reuse It Yourself - is a UK-wide network of building material reuse centres. These are social enterprises which collect excess construction materials and sell them on. Based on a successful USA model they bring many benefits, including:
- creating new jobs and helping economic regeneration
- reducing waste to landfill, landfill costs and fly tipping
- reducing CO2 emissions.
You can download the business plan to understand more about ReIY centres.
We are in the process of building our website, so come back soon to find out more. In the meantime please email us for more information. You can also visit our sister site BioRegional Reclaimed to find out about reclaiming and reusing building materials, and to download a toolkit to help you set up a centre to reuse building materials.
ReIY's partners include Wastewise and BioRegional. ReIY is funded by ReAlliance and WRAP.
