Founder & CEO, [Re] Waste
Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Corey grew up playing sports and played basketball for MacEwan and NAIT. After NAIT, Corey joined the construction industry where he spent 10 years building great relationships and projects.
Together with his wife Jill they have 3 kids and love spending time watching them play on their community sports teams or traveling. Corey enjoys training for Ironman’s and endurance races and in 2020 hosted his own “Do It Yourself Unofficial Ironman” in Pigeon Lake, Alberta.
Like many people around the world, Corey was laid off during the COVID-19 pandemic. With a young family, he took interest in the amount of plastic waste being produced within his household and began testing single use grocery bags by melting them down using a kitchen griddle and clothing iron. He quickly realized the soft grocery bags could make dense, durable tiles and from there he started [Re] Waste. In a short amount of time, [Re] Waste was able to launch amazing projects with great partners including the City of Beaumont, Nova Cannabis, Goodwill Industries of Alberta and Telus World of Science- Edmonton.
[Re] Waste focuses on working with partners to divert plastic from landfills and transform it into 100% recycled plastic products.
