Reducing waste and GHGs with circularity
WASTE
Are you interested in adopting a circular economy to meet your community’s sustainability goals? By reusing waste products and materials, you can more easily transition to renewable energy, reduce GHG emissions, save on operating costs, and so much more.
Watch this webinar recording for an introductory webinar breaking down the benefits of a circular economy. You will hear from Canadian municipalities who have taken the first steps towards circularity by joining the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative and developed Circular Economy Roadmaps – a framework for action in their communities. We’ll be discussing these Roadmaps in detail, highlighting key takeaways and lessons from their circular economy journey debuts.
In this webinar, you’ll
- Hear directly from municipal experts and other participants from across Canada
- Learn about the benefits of circularity and how to communicate them with municipal decision-makers
- Discover how circular economy can fit within the context of your own community
- And more
