It's easy to underestimate the power of surrounding yourself with people who inspire you to push beyond your limits. After spending 48 hours with the C100 Fellows in San Francisco recently, I was reminded of how much of a difference it makes. Entrepreneurship can often feel isolating, but connecting with others who face similar challenges is a game changer. A bit of healthy competition never hurts either—hearing about the incredible work being done by the other founders reignited a fire in me to push harder, move faster, and raise my own standards. A huge thank you to the C100 team for organizing such an incredible event and to the members who continue to give back and lift up Canadian founders. The support is invaluable, and the impact is real. Afraj Gill Vishal Vinod Marie Cook Michael Buhr Janet Bannister Mike Wessinger

THIS is what a successful reuse program looks like. Yesterday, I was able to chat with one of our drivers, who facilitates Friendlier pickups and deliveries. He proudly told me that we hit a record high for the number of containers delivered in one vehicle and the number of containers picked up. Every day, he can see the program working. He is motivated by the tens of thousands of containers that come back to our facility each day. These photos were taken at 2 of the many sites serving Friendlier containers. Without Friendlier, all of these containers would end up in a landfill.. And this is only 2 days of operation. So, what can we see here? - PILES of returned Friendlier containers ready to be washed, sanitized and reused.  - Excited and engaged staff who are PROUD to show off their impact.  - Despite the overwhelming returns, there is still a clean, organized pickup area where all containers can be accessed and taken away in a timely fashion. It is very cool being able to work every day and physically see the positive impact that you are making on the world.

When we set out to create Friendlier we had one goal - make reuse SIMPLE. People have asked us a lot about this. Why isn’t your goal to make reuse cool, or fancy? Why isn’t the goal to convince consumers that they must reuse? Why isn’t the goal to lobby the government to make reuse mandatory? We know that we live in a society where convenience is key and we are battling a radically convenient product, single-use packaging. We have to either match its convenience or come pretty darn close. And that’s what we did. We have made reuse SO simple, that people don’t even need to know they are reusing. They don’t even need to care about the environment. They can simply order a meal, enjoy it, and instead of throwing the package into a garbage bin, they drop it into a reuse bin. Without missing a step, they have contributed to saving the environment. Don’t believe us? The proof is in the over 2 MILLION containers that have already been saved from landfill. Are you still using single-use packaging? Let’s chat.

2 million reused… and it happened in the blink of an eye! 💙 While we couldn’t all be together for the exact moment, we made sure to come together to celebrate this incredible #milestone. 🙌 A huge thank you to our amazing Blue Crew, including our teams in Guelph, Ottawa, and our remote crew - you’re truly the best! We’re beyond grateful for each of you and for everyone who has been a part of this journey. Here’s to the next million and beyond! 💙 #Friendlier #FriendlierBlueCrew #CircularEconomy #ChooseReuse
