Four “Enhanced Recycling” Projects will be reviewed by GreenhouseGasMeasurement.com under a new contract awarded by Natural Resources Canada.
GHGm will assess each project in terms of its impacts upon GHG emission reductions to date and will also develop a Measurement and Reporting Plan for each project to define and determine the GHG mitigation potential of each project to 2010. The projects to be reviewed concern metal recycling, recycling of computer electronic waste, and recycling and reuse of building construction and demolition waste. Locations include Ontario, Quebec and Canada’s North.
Enhanced Recycling is a five-year, $3.4 million program under the Government of Canada Action Plan 2000 on Climate Change, Minerals and Metals Program (managed by the Minerals and Metals Sector of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan).
