On the site of the Haleco project in Montreal, we worked
with two partners to give several materials a new life.
Following the deconstruction of buildings on the site, several
components, including faucets, hardware and doors, were
given to Architecture sans frontières, an organization that
helps communities around the world affected by natural or
other disasters and social inequalities. We also collaborated
with arborists and the Centre de valorisation du bois urbain,
a social economy enterprise, to ensure the transformation
of ash trees that had been cut into hardwood f looring.
A new employee was hired to speed up the progress of
our circular economy plan His mission is to develop and
roll out initiatives to bring us closer to our goals He works
in collaboration with our internal teams and our suppliers
to develop opportunities to divert materials through the
reduction reuse recycling and recovery of residual materials
We rely on the creation of partnerships to develop and
deploy innovative solutions with the goal of accelerating
the integration of circular practices on our sites In 2022 we
worked with La Factry to develop circular economy solutions
