OUR VISION

To make Canada a world leader in building a sustainable, prosperous, zero-waste, low-carbon-emitting Circular Economy that benefits the lives of people at home and abroad.

OUR MISSION

To provide thought leadership, technical expertise and a collaborative platform for the development of pioneering solutions that eliminate waste at all stages of the life cycle of products and accelerate the transition to a Circular Economy.

OUR PLAN

Foster a greater understanding of the barriers and benefits associated with eliminating waste and transitioning to a Circular Economy, producing best-in-class research and initiating broad engagement to create a society-wide dialogue across silos and between uncommon partners.

Spearhead a national strategy for the circular economy by developing and proposing a Circular Economy Roadmap, with an approach to change that is bold but achievable with goals and solutions for all levels of government, business and civil society.

Provide guidance to develop a systems approach to innovation and change at a national scale, leading to the adoption of strategies and policies that eliminate waste and accelerate the development of Canada’s Circular Economy.

Lead communications efforts to engage Canadians in every walk of life, shift mindsets and behaviours, and encourage broad participation in the transition to the Circular Economy.
