Paul Shorthouse

Single-use items are inarguably unsustainable, something the Europeans have recognized for decades, and hence the importance of developing Canada’s emerging circular economy. Paul, one of Canada’s leading experts in this rapidly evolving space provides solutions, and engages leaders working at the intersection of business innovation, public policy, economic development, and sustainability – leading 15 consulting projects in 2020 alone.
In February 2021, Paul took on the additional role of Managing Director for Circular Economy Leadership Canada (CELC), a network of leaders from all industries fostering collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange, accelerating the circular economy transition. Over the past year, the network reached 1,500 businesses, resulting in the accelerated adoption of circular business practices. The “Take, Make, Use & Dispose” economy’s day is ending – and Paul, through his work with Delphi and CELC, is leading the transformation.
