The 2022 New York State ReUse Summit

Thank you for participating in the first NYS ReUse Summit in Ithaca, NY! In total, more than 160 individuals from across NYS and beyond joined us in-person and virtually for this exciting and historic event.

Post-Event Survey

The summit organizers would be grateful if you could take up to five minutes to complete a brief survey about the event. Your responses will be used to help improve future NYS ReUse Summits, identify actionable next steps for advancing reuse activities across the State, and demonstrate the need for funding and support to grow the reuse industry in NYS. Your responses will remain confidential, and any insights shared from these survey results will be anonymized and/or aggregated. Thank you in advance for taking time to provide us with your valuable thoughts and feedback!
