Call2Recycle, Canada’s leading battery collection and recycling organization, and Canadian soccer legend Christine Sinclair, official ambassador of the Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program, are kicking off Circular Economy Month聽with a national campaign聽encouraging Canadians to recycle their batteries and help recover valuable resources.
Over the course of October, Call2Recycle’s campaign will feature television and online messages from Christine Sinclair highlighting her motivation to protect the environment and encouraging Canadians to recycle their used batteries. Christine Sinclair also invites Canadians to enter a battery recycling contest to win cash prizes when they recycle their batteries. Consumers can enter the contest by scanning QR codes on battery collection containers and posters or by visiting RecycleYourBatteries.ca/contest聽while at participating Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! collection sites.
Led by the Circular Innovation Council聽and in partnership with Call2Recycle, Circular Economy Month聽invites Canadians to rethink their approach to waste by highlighting opportunities to maximize resources by keeping materials in use for as long as possible through reuse, repair, refurbishment, and recycling, accelerating the transition to a circular economy.聽As a proud sponsor, Call2Recycle’s campaign urges Canadians to take action by recycling their used household and e-bike, e-scooter, and hoverboard batteries.
“Call2Recycle is proud to be at the forefront of battery recycling, which is part of Canada’s circular economy pursuit,” said Joe Zenobio, President of Call2Recycle Canada. “By investing in Canada, 聽we ensure that valuable materials are recovered from used batteries, we reduce the reliance on new resources and minimize environmental impact. We’re excited to partner once again with the Circular Innovation Council and have Christine Sinclair spearhead our campaign to encourage Canadians to recycle their batteries.”
“I’m thrilled to be part of this Circular Economy Month campaign,” said Christine Sinclair, Ambassador for the Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program. “I was proud to represent Canada for 23 years, and protecting our environment is very important to me. Battery recycling plays an important role in reducing waste and supporting a healthy circular economy.”
