The Bay Area Reuse and Repair Network brings together businesses and nonprofits involved in reuse, repair, and redistribution across the region. Members connect to share resources and ideas, form partnerships, and collaborate on challenges and opportunities facing the reuse and repair sector.
The network hosts regular meetings, facility tours, workshops, and roundtables. Whether you run a repair shop, manage a reuse nonprofit, or work in redistribution, the network is a place to connect with peers and grow the repair economy.
The Bay Area Reuse and Repair Network meets regularly to discuss industry challenges, share updates, and hear presentations from members and partners. View the archive of meeting notes and recordings.
