CIRCULAR ECONOMY ACCELERATOR

Incorporate circular economy principles into your operations.

GO CIRCULAR

The Circular Economy Accelerator Program provides hands-on support to businesses on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast who seek to adopt circular economy principles, reduce waste and emissions, increase revenue, and develop innovative practices. This program – the first of its kind in Canada – will position your business as a leader in the circular economy, attracting talent and investment, increasing revenue, and paving the way to a prosperous, sustainable, and resilient future for your community.

AS AN ACCELERATOR PARTICIPANT, YOU WILL:

  • Complete an on-site assessment with a circular advisor to identify circular solutions for your operations,

  • Receive a report outlining key opportunities to reduce waste, energy use, and emissions,

  • Incorporate leading sustainability practices, and 

  • Identify cost savings and value-add opportunities.
