At the first Canadian Circular Economy Summit (CCES) in 2023 the Circular Economy Action Plan for Canada was created. Released at the end of 2025, the CE Action Plan 2.0 provides new insights and hones in on key impact areas to make it fit to address the challenges and seize the opportunities of today.

The Circular Economy Action Plan provides a framework to unify the private sector, governments, investors, and civil society around a shared vision. Version 2.0 is not a pivot, but a magnification. It integrates crucial insights from the CCES 2025 in Montréal, delivering a refreshed blueprint and priority actions.

Version 2.0 builds upon the inaugural 2023 CE Action Plan while recognizing that Canada’s circular economy community has matured over the last two years. It also acknowledges our current economic and market realities which are impacting supply chains and trading relationships, while simultaneously generating new domestic opportunities for the circular economy. 

This Action Plan 2.0 ensures our continued collective momentum is greater than the sum of individual efforts, de-risking investments and scaling innovations to transform Canada’s economy from linear to circular.
