The Rona Eco brand is an exchange program. Similiar to a core charge for car parts, or a propane tank exchange.

Basically, you buy the bit/blade/saw you need for full price, and when it wears out you bring it in and buy a new one for less when you trade in yours. They then take the old ones and resharpen them (in the case of sawblades).

Various outfits have been doing this for years.
