Quebec鈥檚 goal is to eliminate organics going to landfills by 2020!
Experts shared their resources on recovery processes that could lead to a more circular resource economy, reduce environmental impact, and use waste resources!
蚕耻茅产别肠鈥檚 , together with 蚕耻茅产别肠鈥檚 Climate Change Government Strategy 2013-2020, had the goal to eliminate organics disposal to landfills by 2020. Qu茅bec, who generates 1.3 106 t/yr. of food waste and 0.7 106 t/yr. of biosolids, has a large supply of low-cost electricity through hydropower, creating a challenging economic environment limiting the growth of typical waste-to-energy providers. This seminar brought together experts from academia, government and industry to identify possible opportunities for the Province of Qu茅bec and to discover resources recovery processes that ultimately will lead to a more circular resource economy. The aim was to reduce environmental impact while also capitalizing on the inherent value of resources within the waste. It was thus identifying economically feasible solutions.
