Team
Quebec Circulaire is also the result of a rich collaboration between several individuals from various backgrounds who are convinced that sustainable development is only possible if the circular economic model becomes the norm.
Our team is at the service of local communities, businesses, territories, researchers and associations across Quebec wishing to be part of a circular economy approach.
