In this episode, Shraddha Kumar continues her conversation with Emily Alfred from the Toronto Environmental Alliance, looking at what major events can teach us about reuse in practice.
While full reuse did not make it into FIFA stadiums for the World Cup, there were still important lessons from the ground, from waste sorting efforts at fan sites to reusable systems at Pride Toronto and Live Nation’s rollout of reusable cups across major outdoor venues in Toronto.
As Emily explains, better waste sorting is important, but it also shows just how much staff time and effort goes into managing single-use packaging once it has already been created.
Part one of the conversation is available on the previous episode.
What can the world’s biggest sporting events teach us about making reuse work? ♻️
In this episode, Shraddha Kumar speaks with Emily Alfred, Senior Waste Campaigner at the Toronto Environmental Alliance, about the lessons learned from FIFA-related reuse efforts in Canada.
The conversation explores why Toronto and Vancouver faced challenges implementing reuse systems at FIFA venues, while also highlighting the practical wins beyond the stadiums, including successful fan festival initiatives and the momentum they’re creating for future mega-events.
In the next episode of the Reloop Brief, we’ll look beyond FIFA to showcase existing reuse systems across Canada and the real-world successes already happening today.
In this episode of The Reloop Brief, Shraddha Kumar speaks with Rob Kelman, Reloop Pacific Director, about Australia’s 20 Cents Makes Sense campaign and the push to increase container refund values from 10 cents to 20 cents.
Rob explains why refund value matters, how Australia’s container deposit schemes compare with higher-performing systems internationally, and why return rates risk stagnating without stronger incentives. The conversation also explores the broader packaging reform context in Australia, including the links between deposit return, extended producer responsibility, recycled material supply, and economic resilience.
