In order to better understand the impact of re-using particular items, WRAP have developed a methodology, and tool for quantifying the current and potential future benefits of increasing re-use. These are available for anyone to use in trying to understand the potential impact of re-use, including greenhouse gas emissions, jobs or financial impacts. From the case studies developed with this, we estimate that UK households save around £1 billion per year and avoid 1 million tonnes CO2 eq per year from current levels of re-use.
