Making the most of Things.
Share, Reuse, Repair
Sharing, reuse, and repair are three simple practices that make it easier for everyone to understand and take part in the circular economy.
We work with communities, businesses, and governments to help them take steps towards sustainable economies, resilient communities, and healthy ecosystems.
An economy and society rooted in share, reuse, and repair creates many benefits:
Enables climate-friendly, low-cost solutions that meet daily needs by honouring the carbon in the things that already exist.
Fosters resilient local economies and businesses grounded in strong community networks.
Protects ecosystems and biodiversity by limiting the use of natural resources.
Breaking it Down
Share
Enabling people to share their things and supporting innovations like tool libraries, clothing subscriptions, and goods sharing platforms.
Reuse
Encouraging people to use things that already exist and supporting buying used goods, refill stores, and products made from salvaged materials.
Repair
Helping people to repair their things and collaborating with policy-makers and businesses to offer more durable and repairable goods.
Guiding Principles
Practical Solutions
We create circular solutions that are simplified and implementable, to reduce barriers to action and maximize impact.
Close to Home
We focus on solutions that integrate into the daily lives of people in Canada, helping everyone to participate and feel the impact of their actions.
We’re active at every level, from government and business leaders to grassroots community initiatives because success requires participation from everyone.
Collective Effort
Bold steps toward meaningful circular innovation demonstrate what’s possible and inspire others to join this path.

Our Ambitions
Our vision is an economy within Canada where circularity isn’t a decision—it’s the default. We believe this can only be achieved with an approach that welcomes and includes all of us.
Canada requires solutions that create as much economic, social, and environmental value as possible from our materials and resources. We hope to help create a world in which circularity is easy, open to everyone, and beneficial to every member of society.
