We are excited to share the news of our expanded collaboration with EcoTank Canada (EcoTank). To celebrate this exciting milestone, Canadian Tire Corporation and our retail petroleum business organized a special event called 'Top Up for Winter' at select Canadian Tire Gas+ gas bars (Gas+ gas bars) across the GTA on October 10, 2024.
Our collaboration began with the installation of 25 windshield washer refill stations across 6 Gas+ gas bars in Ontario. Due to its success, we are pleased to announce that we have expanded the initiative to 51 refill stations across 15 Gas+ gas bars in Ontario and Quebec.
Customers at locations participating in the event were offered a top-up of windshield washer fluid using EcoTank's bulk dispensers. These innovative refill stations operate like gas pumps, ensuring spill-free top-ups while allowing users to refill only what they need.
We are proud to share that the event was a great success, with nearly 150 customers utilizing the refill stations and 62 jugs of single-use plastic diverted from landfills as a result. To date, our collaboration with EcoTank has contributed to the diversion of over 7,880 single-use jugs and prevented 1,735kg of virgin plastic being used in the production of these containers.
The scaling of this collaboration was made possible through the Canada Plastics Pact and their Reuse Accelerator Pod initiative, and is partially funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada.
