Collaboration is the cornerstone of protecting the environment. In today’s world, no single entity can tackle sustainability challenges alone. The combined efforts of businesses, communities, and individual citizens are essential to driving meaningful change. This is especially true in the field of battery recycling, where collaboration is at the heart of the local efforts, recycling innovations and success stories celebrated in Call2Recycle’s Leaders in Sustainability awards.
The Leaders in Sustainability awards recognize outstanding environmental initiatives by Call2Recycle’s partners across Canada: businesses, municipalities, and community organizations that have gone above and beyond with an exceptional commitment to further responsible battery recycling in Canada.
These awards not only highlight the extraordinary efforts of our partners but also showcase how working together can create a significant impact on our environment. As we celebrate these incredible achievements, we are also proud of Call2Recycle’s role in supporting and facilitating these successes as the partner of choice in battery recycling and sustainability. Our collaboration helped make 2024 a truly remarkable year for recycling with almost 7 million kilograms of used batteries collected and recycled across Canada.
The Leaders in Sustainability Awards: Honouring Partnerships and Impact
