Thank you @tomharriscellular for being one of the first Canadian retailers to participate in the Phone Case Recovery. Your organization's participation over the last two years has been amazing. We launched the Phone Case Recovery program for the Canadian wireless industry in March, 2020. With the help of 11 Brand sponsors, 3 distributors and 650 retailers we diverted over 50,000 lbs of phone and tablet cases from becoming landfill. Thank-you @sasktel for participating in the Phone Case Recovery program! Eco-Train is thrilled to announce @incipio has joined the 2021 Phone Case Recovery Program as GOLD LEVEL SPONSOR. The story of the Phone Case Recovery program began a little over two years ago with this guy - Troy Fargey, President at Hitfar Concepts. The Phone Case Recovery Program has come a long way! What a journey it's been. To wrap up Waste Reduction Week, Canadians from coast to coast will engage with the theme swap and repair - two very simple yet important pillars to the circular economy. Many events planned during the weekend of Waste Reduction Week are swaps or repair cafés that are becoming increasingly popular. Swap & Repair Sunday shows Canadians how simple it can be to extend the life of everyday products, and encourages them to take part in events in their community, school, or workplace to find new life for their unwanted or damaged products and textiles. Access over ownership and the sharing economy are important pillars that contribute to a circular economy. By shifting to access over ownership, the responsibility falls to manufacturers, distributors and retailers to look after the plastic products they sell into the market. It is estimated that individuals and households across Canada waste more than $10 billion worth of food annually. Plastics Thursday highlights how the circular economy can reduce the use and waste of plastics; motivate improved recyclability of plastic goods; and increase the value of recycled plastic by improving product design, use, and end of life management. On this day, we focus our recognition and celebration of champions that support the need to reduce plastic waste and are doing their part to take action. The Phone Case Recovery program is now available at The Mobile Shop! Did you know that globally last year, the total amount of electronic waste reached 53.6 million metric tonnes? With such rapid advances in technology and endless new innovative products released every year, electronic waste will quickly become one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world.
