Our 2025 Goals
As of X date we have accomplished below and more content about these goals without going into much depth.
Bullfrog Power × Staples
The Working and Learning Company's print centers, Staples Studio co-working locations, and production centres are bullfrogpowered® with 100% clean, renewable electricity. As a result, Staples Canada is now the #1 Retailer for Bullfrog Power in Canada. Bullfrog Power’s generators put 100% clean, pollution-free electricity onto the grid to match the amount of conventional power that Staples Canada uses at these locations. Through 10+ years of partnership, Staples Canada continues to reduce their environmental impact, support the development of new community-based green energy projects in Canada, and support an innovative approach to growing the renewable energy industry.
Tree Canada X Staples
The year 2023 marked the 15th year of Staples’ partnership with Tree Canada. Over the course of our partnership, we have planted over 237,997 trees, supported numerous community greening projects, recovered areas hit by disasters, and helped grow a better place to live for Canadians across the country. These trees planted have also contributed significantly to a more sustainable future for all Canadians through carbon emission compensation.
Writing Instruments
In 2012, Staples Canada launched a writing instrument recycling program in partnership with Terracycle. Customers are encouraged to drop off used writing instruments at local stores, such as pens, pencils, markers, and highlighters, which are sent to Terracycle for recycling. To date, Staples Canada has successfully diverted over 8M writing instruments from landfills.
Batteries
Staples Canada partners with Call2Recycle to collect used batteries (rechargeable and alkaline) from all store locations and its Home Office for recycling. The partnership began in 2004, and to date, over 750 Metric Tonnes of used household batteries have been collected and safely recycled through the program.
Ink + Toner
Staples Canada partners with HP and eCycle solutions to recycle ink and toner cartrdiges for our customers. Through these efforts, over 6 million ink and toner cartridges have been diverted from landfill since 2020 alone.
Electronics
Staples Canada and its national electronics recycling partner eCycle Solutions take back end-of-life electronics at all retail locations. Recyclable items accepted include cell phones, computers, computer parts, small appliances and more. Staples Canada is an authorized e-waste provider site through the Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) nationally.
Paper Shredding
Staples Canada partners with Iron Mountain to provide our customers with secure shredding services. Our shredding services are committed to protecting the environment as much as it is to protecting your privacy. All shredded materials are recycled to minimize waste, pollution, and impact on our natural resources.
Nespresso Pods
Staples Canada has recently partnered with Nespresso to provide a full circle solution for our coffee-loving customers. You can now both purchase and recycle Nespresso Pods at select Staples retail locations across Canada!
