SYMPOSIUM ON REUSE
November 30, 2022
Radisson Blu, Queen’s Quay West
Toronto, Ontario

BACKGROUND

Practices that avoid waste and extend the life of products and materials in the economy are recognized as beneficial strategies that can reduce GHGs, conserve resources and deliver a range of social benefits. Reuse is implemented in many sectors and innovations are competing to elevate reuse and extend the life of products in our economy.

A symposium on reuse is an opportunity to mobilize stakeholders to share knowledge and ideas on how to advance reuse and value retention practices in Canada. This dialogue will seek to identify the opportunities and leading practices and enhance the connections between stakeholders to advance reuse, value retention and the sharing economy in Canada.

Join us for an exciting day to explore the current reuse landscape in Canada and elsewhere and discuss how we can collaborate across sectors and improve policies to support the reuse economy. Come to hear from leading international initiatives, learn from businesses that are scaling-up their practices and examine how reuse benefits our communities!

OBJECTIVES

  1. Learn about work and policies in leading jurisdictions, particularly Europe, the United States and Canada, that are supporting the advancement of reuse;
  2. Take stock of reuse efforts in Canada (businesses, governments, NGOs) and discuss challenges, infrastructure and policy gaps, and solutions;
  3. Establish new connections and a sector network that can inform future strategic actions to advance reuse and the sharing economy.
