Metodologie sběru dat reuse center a nábytkových bank v roce 2022 a 2023

The aim of the project is to create a standardised method of collecting data from Reuse Federation member organisations, whereby we will collect data at regular intervals that will be aindicative not only of the amount of waste that has not become waste, but also of the socially beneficial impact of reuse centres and furniture banks. Through the implementation of this project, we will gain concrete information on the potential of reuse facilities as effective tools of the circular economy, and this information will be shared not only internally within the organisation, but also as a basis for communicating the benefits to municipalities and government authorities.

For the pilot data collection, we worked in a small group of 11 type of organisations that are involved in different forms of reuse centre operations. Repeated working group meetings were held, and the method of measurement was aligned between organisations, including weightings. A data collection record table was developed along with instructions for completion, which was sent out to all members (28 in total) via email correspondence to motivate other Reuse Federation members to keep records and complete the data systematically.
