More Information
The Waste Management Guide is a publication that is specifically
designed to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) develop and
implement a customized waste management program that is tailored to their
needs.
Summary
The Waste Management Guide has four parts:
- Part 1: ten real life experiences and accounts of
situations observed inside various organizations (case studies).
- Part 2: a general portrait of the current waste
management situation in Canada and overview of provincial/territorial
regulations.
- Part 3: an operational guide to the five-step
implementation of a waste management program.
- Part 4: a compendium of resources that can help support the
realization of the approach described in Part 3.
Learning to manage waste materials is important since it:
- provides SMEs with the tools for rationalizing
processes and work methods;
- prepares SMEs to produce a documented and
reassuring environmental report for financial backers and insurers;
- involves reassessing each product’s environmental
impacts, and
- enables businesses to provide the basics for the life cycle analysis of the
products that go to market.
