Building Canada’s reusable future
By demonstrating successful scaling of proven reuse applications, these accelerators are establishing new standards and possibilities for Canada’s circular plastics economy.
The Reuse Accelerator is designed to overcome these challenges by creating the collaborative infrastructure needed to scale proven solutions nationwide.
By connecting market demand with cutting-edge reusable/refillable solutions and targeted investment, we’re not just launching isolated projects—we’re catalyzing a systemic transformation of Canada’s packaging landscape.
Challenge:
Each year, more than 6 million single-use plastic jugs—equivalent to 800,000 kg of HDPE plastic—are used to package windshield washer fluid, contributing to plastic waste.
Circular Solution:
To tackle this challenge, Canadian Tire partnered with EcoTank Canada to introduce bulk windshield washer fluid dispensers as a refill alternative. With support from the Canada Plastics Pact’s Reuse Accelerator, Canadian Tire expanded the initiative by adding dispensers to Canadian Tire Gas+ gas bars in Ontario and Quebec.
Impact by the Numbers:
27,100+ single-use plastic jugs diverted from landfill
3,200+ kg of plastic avoided through refills
This Reuse Accelerator was partially funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Challenge:
Schools, colleges, and university campuses generate high volumes of single-use packaging waste through on-site food services—much of it unnecessary and difficult to recycle. Without viable reuse systems, this packaging continues to contribute to Canada’s growing plastic waste problem.
Circular Solution:
Friendlier is partnering with major food service providers like Compass Group Canada and Aramark Canada to scale a reusable packaging program. Their tech-enabled system makes it easy for students and staff to return, track, and reuse containers—supporting waste reduction without sacrificing convenience.
Impact by the Numbers:
3.2 million reusable packages in circulation
185,000+ kg of plastic waste diverted from landfill
This Reuse Accelerator was partially funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada.
