Hear from our Members
The Circular Economy Consortium provides a wonderful opportunity to share best practices, learn about new systems/technologies, and network with professionals in multiple sectors.
Lisa Vanlint, University Health Network
I personally really enjoyed the in-person facility tours at the Toronto Zoo and Seneca College. They provided great opportunities to not only expand my knowledge, but also to connect more with the CEC members. Specifically, at the Seneca tour I learned more about how other organizations gather, manage, and analyze their waste data.

Being able to share best practices across ICI peers. Learning from stakeholder groups we wouldn’t normally have access to. Seeing facility operations that are progressive.

I really enjoyed the guest speaker from ECCC about the SUP ban. The last session about life cycle analysis was also great and very pertinent to our current projects. Our climate team also really enjoyed the bio-gas plant tour.
