Materials exchanges facilitate the reuse of materials and save them from becoming waste. They do this by acting like a broker or bulletin board, helping businesses or people that have unwanted materials connect with others who could use that same material. Here is a list of some exchanges:
Vermont Business Materials Exchange (VBMX)
VBMX is a free service whose goal is to minimize waste by fostering the exchange of reusable commercial resources.
