Please note that the CRT program is temporarily on pause pending a transition to a new space.
We are endeavouring to re-launch the program during summer 2025.
Concordia Re-Tech
Since 2023, Concordia Re-tech (CRT) has been collecting electronic waste across Concordia University, giving these items a second life by offering free upcycled tech solutions to the Concordia community and minimizing e-waste. Our mission is to creatively reduce waste by refurbishing, repairing, or harvesting valuable components from electronics.
We provide all our services free of charge, including repairs to extend the lifespan of your items and promote sustainability in everyday life. Additionally, we host workshops and volunteer sessions to empower the community with hands-on repairs and encourage sustainable living practices.
