Toronto is building a greener and more resilient future with its Circular Economy Road Map. We can all help reduce waste, extend the life of materials and encourage sharing, repairing and reusing.
Take the survey by August 17 to share your ideas.
The City is working towards an aspirational goal of zero waste and a circular economy. The circular economy aims to reduce waste and maximize resources by moving away from the linear take-make-and-dispose approach to a more circular system that focuses on product longevity, renewability, reuse and repair as well as resource recovery. Transitioning to a circular economy will play a key role in building a resilient, inclusive, green, and prosperous future for Toronto residents and businesses.
Instead of taking from the planet, a circular economy approach challenges us to be a part of it by:
- taking less
- using better
- making sure our economies and our choices support the natural environment we rely on.
Everyone has a role to play in the circular economy!
