Circular Economy Month (Canada)

October 1, 2023 - October 31, 2023

Canada’s First Circular Economy Public Awareness Campaign

On October 1st, 2022, Circular Innovation Council kicked-off Circular Economy Month, Canada’s first-ever public awareness month dedicated to educating and engaging Canadians on building a circular economy.

Extending Waste Reduction Week in Canada — the country’s most successful waste reduction public awareness campaign engaging Canadians each year since 2001 — beyond the third week of October, Circular Economy Month raises awareness about the benefits of circular economy and celebrates circular innovations. During October we invited Canadians to learn about the circular economy, celebrate our individual and collective efforts, embrace circular solutions, and encourage others to take action.

Program Themes

The third week of October continues as Waste Reduction Week in Canada, upholding tradition of focusing on our daily themes related to specific waste streams and the waste reduction component of a circular economy. The remainder of the month will focus on introducing the concept of circular economy and amplifying its broader social, environmental, and economic benefits, communicating a different theme each week.
