An Investment in Technology

摘要

Plans to introduce a region-wide kitchen organics program, the desire to improve collection efficiencies, and mounting pressures to continue increasing its waste diversion rate provided the impetus for the construction of an integrated waste management facility and the switch to single-stream recycling in the Region of Peel, Ontario. Peel anticipates positive returns on its investment in this innovative facility. With the ability to process various waste streams with advanced technology, the region can implement new and enhanced collection programs to increase its diversion rate. In addition to increased collection efficiencies plus lower collection and processing costs, Peel will attain higher revenues from marketed materials and, ultimately, lower disposal costs.
