Waste Management

There are a multitude of funding programs available on the federal and provincial level. See the table below for funding programs specific to this industry

Waste management plays a vital role in sustainability and a clean environment. Thanks to innovation, many systems and technologies exist today that help with waste management. Such inventions include WTE, materials recovery facilities, landfill technology, and e-cycling. Single-stream recycling and mixed waste recycling processes allow for optimal use of resources as with the use of green waste that can be recycled back into the environment. To encourage innovation, the provincial and federal government have programs in place that help finance R&D and other expenditures. Explore the funding programs available below.
