Circular Innovation Council is partnering with the City of Regina to launch a new 6-month pilot program to help local multi-family properties and businesses recover surplus edible food and compost to keep food scraps out of landfill.
Be part of building a circular food economy — join this early adopter pilot program and turn waste into value while we take care of the logistics.
Through this program, businesses and institutions divert edible food from landfill through food donations. Surplus food is sent to charities that support community members experiencing food insecurity. Food that can’t be donated is converted to high-quality compost for local gardens and farms.
This program advances circularity in the food system for business and institutions, while addressing the pressing issue of climate change. It allows innovators to take a bold stand against food waste, work towards a net-zero food system, improve food security and create a more sustainable future for all.
The program supports innovative operations, data collection and connections between businesses. It results in a more efficient and affordable approach to managing food waste and participation strengthens brand trust and loyalty among consumers and staff.
The City of Regina acknowledges we are on the traditional lands of the Treaty 4 Territory, a Treaty signed with 35 First Nations across Southern Saskatchewan and parts of Alberta and Manitoba, and the original lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, Nakota, Lakota, and the homeland of the Métis. The City of Regina owes its strength and vibrancy to these lands and the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose ancestors’ footsteps have marked this territory as well as settlers from around the world who continue to be welcomed here and call Regina home.
We respectfully acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations and we humbly extend my respect to Indigenous individuals, communities and Elders, past and present, as the traditional custodians of this land.
Circular Innovation Council is a registered charity.
