Call2Recycle, Canada’s leading battery collection and recycling organization has announced a new initiative with Staples Professional,™ the leading business supplier in Canada, to expand its “Recycle Your Batteries, Canada!” program to Staples’ professional business customers nationwide.
Staples Professional is offering its business customers of all sizes across Canada access to the Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program. This will enable participating businesses to conveniently recycle their used batteries safely and responsibly, ensuring they are recycled in accordance with the highest industry standards. Used batteries will be processed to recover valuable materials for reuse in manufacturing new products, reducing the environmental impact, and contributing to a strong circular economy.
Through its Staples for Community platform, Staples Canada is committed to making a positive impact by promoting equity, preserving the environment, and supporting education. This new recycling initiative is part of Staples’ continued efforts to help businesses easily recycle used batteries and old electronics such as computers, cell phones, keyboards, telecom equipment, and printers. Through their continued partnership over the past 20 years, Staples and Call2Recycle have worked to encourage battery recycling as a sustainable practice among Canadian consumers and businesses and have recycled almost two million kilograms of used batteries since 2004 – with more to come.
“Staples Professional is committed to delivering products, services, and solutions that not only meet the diverse needs of our customers but also protect our natural resources and our planet,” said Chris Saniga, Chief B2B Officer at Staples Professional. “We are proud to extend that commitment to support our customers’ environmental initiatives through Call2Recycle’s Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program.”
“We have made great strides with our partner Staples Canada for the past 20 years, helping Canadian consumers become increasingly aware of the importance of recycling batteries,” said Joe Zenobio, President of Call2Recycle Canada. “We are thrilled to expand these efforts to Staples Professional, making it even easier for Canadian businesses to recycle their batteries and contribute to a more sustainable future.”
Call2Recycle’s program partners with businesses, retailers, battery manufacturers, provincial governments, and municipalities to collect and recycle as many used batteries as possible across Canada, driving positive environmental progress nationwide.
