Solving Ontario's Landfill
Capacity Crisis

Ontario is currently facing a crisis in landfill capacity and without immediate action we will run out of capacity within 10 years. The biggest obstacle to increasing capacity is Bill 197, which allows municipalities to veto developments outside of their boundary in an adjacent municipality.

Collaborating for Sustainable and Best-in-Class EPR Programs for all Ontarians

Unlocking the Industry by Working for Workers & Business in Ontario

Continuing Red Tape Reduction to Ensure Ontario Remains Open for Business

Maximizing Resource and Energy Recovery to Strengthen Ontario's Economy

Working with service providers, Ontario has the opportunity to build sustainable and best-in-class EPR programs.

Workers in the waste management and recycling sectors provide an essential service to every community in Ontario, but they do not receive the same support as their counterparts in the skilled trades.

Cumbersome approval processes for waste management and recycling infrastructure have left Ontario at a competitive disadvantage.

More than three quarters of Ontarians agree that the government should invest in technologies that could turn waste into energy according to polling. One of the many examples of energy from waste successes is the renewable natural gas that is used to power truck fleets, which help power our economy.
