With the Circuit Zéro Déchet, it’s easier to reduce waste!
What is the Circuit Zéro Déchet?
Every year, Quebecers send more than 400 kg of residual materials per resident in the household sector to landfill sites. Recurring purchases, such as groceries, represent more than 70% of the packaging we take home. What if we had access to solutions to reduce this waste at the source?
The idea of putting all “zero waste” businesses offering bulk products online, as well as more conventional ones, using a geolocation search system, may seem daring, but we’ve made it happen. Since 2017, Circuit Zéro Déchet is convinced that facilitating access to this new way of consuming among businesses will enable more people to take the first steps and reach their goal more quickly.
This year, we are investing in a new online tool to make your search even easier. With the Circuit Zéro Déchet, cutting waste at its source becomes (even) simpler!
Our goal
Our mission is first and foremost to provide Quebecers with tools to help them reduce waste related to recurring purchases through our online geolocation service. On our platform, we carefully select our businesses according to certain social and environmental criteria to enable consumers to make more eco-responsible choices.
Bakeries, grocery stores, butcher shops, restaurants, eco-friendly shops, and even second-hand stores can now be identified on our search service.
We also attach great importance to the transmission of reliable and supported information. Therefore, we have made a tool available to consumers so that they can better understand their role and responsibilities in this way of purchasing products. Furthermore, the Circuit Zéro Déchet offers free access to a food hygiene and safety guide inspired by the MAPAQ, in order to allow the restaurant and food service industry merchant to offer his services in a safe manner.
We truly hope that moving towards a “zero waste” lifestyle will be more accessible and sustainable for everyone!
A constantly growing platform.
Without any advertising, our platform attracts more than 35,000 new regular users every year, 97% of whom are from Quebec. Since its founding, Circuit Zéro Déchet has seen a 45% increase in visibility per year, thanks in part to the many media that promote it.
