Waste Reduction Week in Canada works with all parts of society to make a difference in the amount of waste that is produced across Canada. With the help of promotional and resource materials, facts and statistics on current wasteful practices and activities, we hope to encourage and engage you in solutions for waste-free living.

Small to medium sized businesses can reduce waste, help protect the environment and save money by considering what ends up as a waste product and how else that material could be dealt with. Did you know that waste typically costs companies 4.5% of turnover? Businesses dedicated to waste reduction and environmental sustainability through their operations can quantify financial savings, improve compliance with regulations and enhance their corporate image and customer trust.

The Waste Reduction Week in Canada Business Kit and Poster are a great starting point for any manager or employee to reduce the amount of waste their business is producing as well as providing all staff with valuable information..
