This year the provincial and territorial organizers of Waste Reduction Week in Canada will focus on municipalities, schools and business and how each part of society can 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 to engage them, participants are encouraged to contribute to 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.

You can also Register your business online to receive a hardcopy of the kit and a colour poster. Your company name will be listed on our website with others from across the country to show that you are making an effort to minimize Canada's waste.
