TAKE BACK THE LIGHT

Through the long-standing support of Members, we make far reaching and meaningful impacts to reduce waste, and through collaboration we can work together to inspire greater sustainability across Canada and put circular economy concepts into action... As the Circular Innovation Council we leverage our history to advance waste elimination and strengthening its connection to low-carbon production and consumption... In the 1980s, we began to host conferences and seminars to discuss a wide range of recycling issues from technology and subsidies for recyclers, to government policies and public education. RCO had an active role in the development and introduction of a test Blue Box program in Kitchener, Ontario in 1981. At a United Nations dinner during the 1989 Our World Summit on the Environment in Toronto, the United Nations Environment Program presented an Environmental Leadership award to RCO for our contribution and leadership with the Blue Box program.
