Expanding Local Paper Upcycling
Greenii Inc. is expanding its Halifax-based paper upcycling business to divert 48 tonnes of waste annually, avoiding over 419 t of CO₂e each year. By transforming discarded newsprint and flyers into sustainable packaging for 400+ local businesses, the initiative replaces virgin and plastic materials, supports a circular economy, and creates jobs for refugee and immigrant women. With HCi3’s support, Greenii will upgrade equipment, improve automation, and pilot a community drop-off program, paving the way to replicate its model regionally and achieve over 103 million kg CO₂e in cumulative reductions over the next 20 years.
