COLLABORATE
Better systems are built together.
ReMatter does not need to solve every problem alone.
Across our communities, extraordinary organizations are already addressing education, health, safety, poverty, family well-being, sustainability, youth development, and countless other needs.
We believe circularity can help strengthen some of that work.
Materials with a Mission
One material. More than one kind of impact.
ReMatter can collaborate with nonprofit organizations on reuse-based fundraising and community initiatives.
Potential collaborations may include:
- Community clothing sales
- Jewelry sales
- Reuse pop-ups.
- Donation drives
- Special fundraising events
- Upcycled-product initiatives
- Community collection campaigns
- Joint awareness campaigns
Depending on the collaboration, donated materials may be used to generate financial support for the partner nonprofit while also keeping useful materials in circulation.
Materials can create value more than once.
An item can avoid landfill.
It can find another home.
And it may help generate funding for a meaningful cause.
Collaborate For Good
We welcome conversations with nonprofits working across areas such as
- Community wellbeing
- Education
- Youth development
- Family services
- Health
- Environmental causes
- Domestic violence prevention and survivor support
- Community resilience
- Social services
- Other mission-driven initiatives
ReMatter's role is not to replace the work of these organizations.
It is to explore whether our circularity model can help support it.
Environmental impact and community impact do not have to be separate.
Community Partnerships
Circularity becomes powerful when it becomes local.
We welcome collaboration with:
- Neighborhood groups
- Community organizations
- Faith and cultural organizations
- Libraries
- Community centers
- Local events
- Service organizations
- Municipal programs
Together, we can create practical opportunities for communities to reuse more and discard less.
School + Youth Partnerships
The next generation should help design the next system.
ReMatter works to engage young people not merely as participants but as contributors and leaders.
Opportunities may include:
- School collection programs
- Reuse events
- Student-led circularity projects
- Repair and upcycling initiatives
- Environmental education
- Youth advisory opportunities
- Community service projects
- Material innovation projects
Young people often see possibilities adults overlook.
We want them at the table.
Youth Leadership
Young people aren't only future leaders. They are leaders now.
ReMatter seeks opportunities for students to:
- Ask questions.
- Challenge assumptions.
- Develop solutions.
- Lead community initiatives.
- Build awareness.
- Measure impact.
- Explore circular design.
- Engage their peers.
Our goal is not simply to teach young people about waste.
It is to give them opportunities to rethink the systems that create it.

They are skills.

- Technology
- Design
- Marketing

Where appropriate, ReMatter can work with community partners to create a clear purpose and pathway for collected materials.
