Created in 1989 by a group of volunteers who wanted to see recycling happen in the Yukon, Raven now acts as a recycling and reuse hub for the entire Territory. Raven Recentre (formerly known as Raven Recycling) is run by the Recycling Society and is a non-profit social enterprise. This means they operate much like a business, but put all profits back into achieving their goal of Zero Waste. The Raven Recycling Society believes that the current scale of human activity is unsustainable in terms of resource use and environmental impact. The integrity of regional and global ecosystems is being threatened. They also recognize the need for a more equitable distribution of the benefits and costs of resource use. Their vision is prosperous sustainable communities within the regional and global ecosystems.
