Share your ideas to help reduce holiday waste

Thank you for checking out our Holiday Waste Think Tank. The holiday season is a wonderful time to celebrate with family and friends, but it can also generate a lot of unnecessary waste.


We would love to hear your ideas for how you reduce waste over the holidays, and then we will showcase shared ideas on the Community Ideas Hub. (The Ideas Hub features lots of tips from the community on how to reduce household waste and support a circular economy.)


We encourage you to share your ideas -- and be entered to win prizes.

  • Do you have ideas for reducing the amount of gift wrap used?
  • What do you do to reduce food waste?
  • Do you have great ideas for gifts that don’t involve packaging?
  • What do you assess when you're purchasing gifts?
  • Do you have craft ideas to turn used textiles or other household items into great new gifts?
