Golf Town – [Re] Grip Recycling Project

In 2024, [Re] Waste partnered with Golf Town to launch the [Re] Grip Recycling Program, successfully diverting over 477,000 golf grips (more than 43,000 lbs) from landfills. These grips were collected, processed, and repurposed, contributing to a more sustainable golf industry. The program is set to expand in 2025, aiming for even greater environmental impact.

Value Buds – Recycled Plastic Rolling Trays

In 2021, [Re] Waste helped Value Buds launch an industry-leading cannabis packaging recycling program, creating a circular economy within the industry. By processing 1,000 lbs of cannabis packaging—approximately 100,000 individual packages, we transformed waste into recycled plastic rolling trays.

To showcase this impact, we also created a storefront display at Value Buds’ flagship store in Edmonton, illustrating the entire recycling process—from a mountain of discarded packaging to shredded plastic flake, culminating in the final rolling trays. This was one of the largest cannabis recycling displays ever created, highlighting the extreme effects of packaging waste and Value Buds’ leadership in circular economy innovation. This initiative reinforces their corporate ESG commitments and sets a new standard for sustainability in the cannabis industry.

QUAD 8 – Community Clean-Up in Saskatoon

On August 8, 2024, [Re] Waste teamed up with The Pot Shack and eight cannabis retailers along 8th Street in Saskatchewan to lead a community clean-up initiative. The cannabis industry is committed to reducing waste and preventing packaging from littering our communities, and this initiative demonstrated leadership in sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Together, we cleaned up streets, parking lots, and surrounding areas, collecting all types of waste, not just cannabis packaging. This initiative also helped break stigma, showcasing industry leaders dedicated to responsible environmental practices and community impact.

Goodwill Wall Protection – The Pilot That Started It All

Goodwill Industries of Alberta was [Re] Waste’s first pilot project, dating back to when Corey Saban was still developing the concept in his garage. At their Edmonton Impact Centre, Goodwill was actively shredding plastics and purchasing FRP (Fibre Reinforced Panels) for wall protection. Together, we launched an innovative recycling initiative, experimenting with multiple phases to create recycled plastic wall protection panels.

What started with hexagon tiles evolved into larger sheet formats, eventually leading to full-scale 4’x4’ recycled plastic sheets that are now being used throughout Alberta’s Goodwill donation centres. This project highlights the power of circular economy partnerships, turning waste into long-lasting, functional materials.
