Industry Framework
Through consultations
with participants in the recycling sector, NRCan has developed a framework
of the many commodities that are recycled, grouped into 12 broad categories.
To view a detailed
listing of commodities
that are currently being recycled in Canada and internationally, as well as information on selected commodities, click
on one of the 12 categories shown below.
Please keep visiting
this page as we will continue to add information on all the recycling
sectors that comprise our framework.
Interested in how
we developed this framework? Read our Industry
Framework Backgrounder.
