Nothing and No One Is Wasted
Transforming Waste.
Empowering people.
Building our green future.
We transform textile and household waste into beautiful, functional products—while creating sustainable jobs for women, refugees, newcomers, and Indigenous communities.
A Circular Economy That Includes Everyone
At Kasandy Circular Economy Initiative, we believe sustainability and social inclusion must go hand in hand. Our hub in Vancouver diverts waste from landfills and reinvents it as ethical, design-forward goods—crafted by individuals often excluded from the workforce.
We don’t just recycle materials. We reclaim potential.
What We Do
Our Mission
Textile-to-Brick Innovation
We transform irreparable fabric waste into construction material for insulation, acoustic panels & walls as well as acoustic bricks, furniture cores, and interior decor.
Artisan Development
Providing accessible training and employment in the green economy. Help members of the disability community and women on the margins including new refugees and indigenous women, find meaningful, sustainable jobs, that provides empowerment, dignity of work, meets and expands their current skills level.
Repair & Rework
We extend the life of clothing through creative redesigns and on-site alterations.
Up-cycled Art
We repurpose fabric waste into sustainable art fixtures and decor.
Funding Adoption
Help change the world of adoption by establishing a trust that makes funding available to willing and ready parent(s) who to adopt children from the system or otherwise.
Funding education
Facilitating and supporting education for Black girls and women by providing bursaries and scholarships for collage and university education in Canada.
Together, we can reimagine waste not as a burden but as an opportunity—one that brings beauty, belonging, and innovation to every corner of Vancouver and the world.
