Raise the pressure until the ban is imposed

Tons of new products destroyed every day. Together, we're lobbying for legislation to ban this systemic waste.

L'enjeu

In the midst of the waste crisis and the cost-of-living crisis, companies are destroying brand-new merchandise, because it's easier than trying to give them away or find a use for them.

We're all struggling, and we've reached the limits of our resources. It's unacceptable to destroy goods that are still functional and useful. It should be illegal, period.

Every support will further our targeted campaign against companies that destroy their unsold stock and the government that encourages it. Each threshold crossed triggers concrete action:

  • At 2,000 supporters: we demand accountability
  • At 5,000: we publicly denounce
  • At 8,000: we call for a ban on this practice.


The more of us there are, the more pressure they can't ignore.

At 2,000 supports: we demand accountability


At 5,000 supports: we publicly denounce


At 8,000 supports: we call for a ban on this practice.


It's time to get a law banning this systemic waste.

  • $20 millions Amount reimbursed in public funds, between 2019 and 2023, - through the customs refund program - to companies that destroy their unsold goods.
