June 2025 Charitable Reuse Australia Newsletter
Announcing a ‘Reuse Logo’ for Everyone to Use
The Reuse Logo – The More We Reuse, the Less We Waste.
Over the past few years, Reuse has refocused Australia’s interest and attention at the top of the resource hierarchy as a driver of the circular economy.
But it has lacked a compelling, singular and engaging logo to represent itself. Until today.
Charitable Reuse Australia has created a Reuse Logo for everyone to use. Please use and share this widely, because The More We Reuse, the Less We Waste.
The big, bold heart of the logo represents pre-loved items, as well as a deep caring and love for people and planet. The arrow vector represents reuse in keeping products circulating for as long as possible – essential for a circular economy.
We’d love everyone to adopt and use the Reuse Logo including … Op Shops, Reuse Social Enterprises, Commercial Reuse Organisations, Councils, Governments, Circular Fashion Brands, Circular Economy Practitioners and more.
- It can be used anywhere preloved items can be found.
- It can be used as price tags for selling pre-loved.
- It can be used by councils and governments promoting reuse.
- It can be used anywhere reuse is in action.
Everyone can download the Reuse Logo from the link below. We’re also creating Stickers and GIFs and more for everyone to use. Let’s get the Reuse Logo out there so it can start accelerating and promoting our sector, because:
- The more we reuse, the less we waste.
- Reuse is second only to reducing consumption for environmental benefits
Download and start using the the Reuse Logo today.
