Every sector is grappling with the unsustainable costs – economic, environmental, and social – of “business as usual”. So, what can be done? CELC is working to advance new model that rethinks our production processes, supply chains, material resource use, and consumption patterns which presents a multi-trillion dollar global opportunity to eliminate waste, improve productivity, enhance competitiveness, and maximize value. It’s called: the Circular Economy 🔄 Learn more about how we connect people like you to the knowledge, networks, and opportunities that accelerate circular innovation across Canada’s economy in our most recent feature by Mediaplanet : https://lnkd.in/erUnM2ig Want to get involved?

An important new publication from our friends at Canada Plastics Pact - check out the report below for the latest data and insights on the plastics packaging value chain in Canada. #circulareconomy #circularplastics
Today, the Canada Plastics Pact released the Canada-wide Plastic Packaging Flows 2024 Progress Report! Key Takeaways: 🔄 16% of plastic packaging in Canada was recycled in 2022, with recycling rates for each waste stream as follows: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional (ICI) Sector: 11%, Residential Sector: 17%, and Deposit Return Systems: 60%. 📈 Plastic packaging production remains high, with an increasing volume of rigid plastics entering the market. Flexible plastics continue to have low recycling rates, and barriers to recycling ICI plastic packaging persist. 📊 Progress since 2019 has been gradual but there are significant changes that CPP Partners are leading that will pave the way for continued progress. ♻️ By prioritizing upstream elimination, product redesign, and improvements in collection and recycling systems, we can drive progress toward reducing plastic waste in Canada. The expansion of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and other complementary policies, alongside scaling necessary infrastructure, addressing data gaps, and targeting recycling system improvements in high-waste ICI subsectors will also create a more effective and efficient recycling system. 🔑 Now that we have updated data to inform decision making for better policy, infrastructure, and innovation, concerted action from leaders and experts across the plastics value chain is required to accelerate system-wide change and meet zero plastic waste targets. 👉 Dive into the full findings and explore the recycling rates by waste stream and sector: https://lnkd.in/eNvAKaZA A big thank you to Policy Integrity Inc., Avaanz Ltd., Lichens, and JTL Squared Consulting Inc. (Jodi Tomchyshyn London) for their contributions to the research and writing of this report.

Accelerating the adoption of #circulareconomy strategies within the built environment in Canada will be critical to tackling climate change, reducing waste, and preventing further nature loss. It can also spur innovation, enhance productivity, increase cost efficiencies that benefit the bottom line, and more. These benefits are at the core to why Circular Economy Leadership Canada is launching a new Circular Construction Innovation Hub (#CCIH) in collaboration with partners from across the construction and real estate value chain. Check out more on CCIH here: https://lnkd.in/gY3_H5t2
Did you know, the construction sector is the largest consumer of raw materials worldwide and the source of an estimated 40% of urban solid waste? With the growth of urban areas across Canada, and the globe, we need to work together and change our approach to construction if we want to reach net-zero—we need to implement more #circular practices. Urbanization is one of the themes being explored at #COP29 today, so join the conversation by taking a look at this story where we explore the benefits of applying circular strategies to the building sector: https://lnkd.in/gfV9YPfg #ClimateSolidarity #COP29Azerbaijan #CircularEconomy
