The JACKALOPE festival, set to take over Montreal’s Old Port from September 13 to 15, is much more than just an action sports event. This year, we’re proud to continue our partnership with Consignaction, a key player in reducing our ecological footprint. Together, we’re combining our efforts to promote environmentally-friendly practices while sharing our passion for action sports.
JACKALOPE & Consignaction: Together for a Greener Future
September 10, 2024 / By vanessa
A Partnership that Makes Sense
Why did we choose to partner with Consignaction? Simply because the JACKALOPE community loves spending time outdoors, and it’s crucial for us to preserve these cherished spaces. Through this partnership, we have the means to take concrete action in recycling and waste management, and we’re committed to encouraging everyone to contribute to environmental protection.
The Importance of Returning Your Refillable Containers
Returning your refillable drink containers is more than just an eco-friendly action; it’s a difference-maker. By returning your containers during JACKALOPE, you’re participating in a source separation process that ensures higher quality recycled material. There’s no doubt that bottle deposit systems are one of the most environmentally-friendly recycling methods.
The Future of Recycling
With a growing focus on reducing our ecological footprint, deposit systems are gaining traction, and JACKALOPE is proud to be part of this movement. Every small action counts, and together, we can contribute to a more sustainable future.
Modernization and Changing Habits
Through this partnership, Consignaction is rolling out a new network of return points for refillable drink containers, making the process simpler, faster, and hassle-free. The modernization of the deposit system will also include new types of containers starting March 2025, marking a significant step forward in waste management.
Impressive Numbers
The numbers speak for themselves: ultimately, 5 billion containers will be deposited each year. And in just 60 days, the material from these refillable drink containers returns to store shelves, ready to be reused. It’s a virtuous cycle that proves that deposit systems are much more than just a minor gesture—they’re a choice for a better future.
