Attendees will gain firsthand insights into how this innovative pilot is addressing the growing demand for scalable, reusable packaging solutions, as well as the unique consortium behind its development. With representatives from Circular Innovation Council, Canada’s leading grocery retailers, the City of Ottawa / Ville d’Ottawa, and Environment and Climate Change Canada, this session will explore the shared-pool model being piloted and the valuable lessons learned from its year-long design phase. The panel will highlight the specifics of this unique partnership, including the innovative shared reuse system being tested, performance objectives, and key insights gained thus far. Panelists—who are key collaborators in the pilot—will share their motivations, strategies, and experiences as they co- designed this collaborative effort. Lessons from the pilot’s implementation phase will serve as the foundation for expanding and scaling reuse programs to other markets and applications beyond food.

Cher Mereweather, Managing Director of the Canada Plastics Pact joined Canadian Tire Corporation’s Petrol Division & Product Stewardship, and EcoTank Canada earlier this month to promote the expansion of their bulk windshield washer fluid dispensers at select Gas+ locations in Ontario and Quebec This was an opportunity to showcase how accessible and convenient refilling can be while making an impact on reducing plastic usage. In a three-hour period,150 customers tried the EcoTank dispensers, saving on the equivalent of 62 plastic jugs. To date, this initiative has saved 7,600 jugs from production, a diversion of 1,700 Kg of plastic from our landfills. Stay tuned for more updates on CPP's Reuse Accelerators! Learn more: This initiative was a winner of the Canada Plastics Pact Reuse Accelerator, a project partially funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada, that will support the scaling of proven reuse / refill applications and address knowledge and infrastructure gaps that are hindering scaling returnable or refillable packaging systems in Canada. https://lnkd.in/eNB5cP9R #CircularEconomy #GrowTheCircle #CircularEconomyMonth #Reuse #Refill #PlasticReduction #PlasticWaste Kimi Walker Molly Fremes Kent Wootton Robbie Mair Jordon Francis Sean Elliott

Today is a key moment in #WasteReductionWeek – #PlasticsThursday! We’re shining a spotlight on how the circular economy helps cut plastic waste, boost recyclability, and increase the value of recycled plastics through smarter design and end-of-life management strategies. FHCP has been at the forefront of Canada’s initiatives to keep plastics within the economy and out of the environment. In 2021, we co-founded the Canada Plastics Pact to reshape how plastics are designed, used, and reused across the supply chain.
