Materials Exchanges save money and help the environment. Here are a few of the “reusables” that Materials Exchanges in NYC divert from the waste stream every day!
The NYC Materials Exchange Development Program (MEDP) is working to strengthen NYC’s materials exchange and reuse sector by connecting, supporting and promoting NYC's reuse organizations.
MEDP will achieve these goals by 1) acting as a networking conduit that builds relationships between materials exchange organizations; 2) providing capacity building training that strengthens individual organizations; and 3) creating information resources that increase public awareness and access to these innovative waste prevention services.
MEDP provides local reuse organizations a range of services, including:
- Research & Development
- Facilitating Materials Exchange through NY Wa$teMatch
- Educational Opportunities
- Onsite Research Library
- Materials Exchange Conference
- Technical Assistance
