About Waste Reduction Week & Circular Economy Month
Waste Reduction Week occurs each year in October as part of Circular Economy Month. For over 20 years, Divert NS has supported education and community events across the province that encourage and celebrate waste reduction. By focusing our efforts on extending the life of our belongings through swapping, sharing, thrifting and repairing, we are reducing the amount of waste entering landfills and contributing to a circular economy.
Reducing Textile Waste
This year, we are continuing to shed light on textile waste and how we can reduce it. Applying the “Swap, Share, Thrift, Repair” concept to textiles is a great starting point and, luckily, there are a lot of great resources available to get you started.
Check out community events happening in your community this Waste Reduction Week. We also have a number of helpful resources that will start you on the “Swap, Share, Thrift, Repair” journey.
