GEDI Exchange - A 30 Minute Exchange: Reimagining Reducing and Reusing Before Recycling

We’ve all been taught the 3Rs from a young age: reduce, reuse, recycle. But we tend to focus too much on that last R. While recycling is important, less than 10% of plastics in Canada are recycled, which means it does little to reduce how much of it we consume. We may even use more because we think what we’re using is being recycled. This brings us to a missing “R”: reimagine.

Waterloo Engineering students and alumni are invited to participate in an exclusive virtual Office Hour with Waterloo Engineering alumnus Alfred Lam (BASc '03, Chemical Engineering), Partner at Chrysalix Venture Capital.
