Project overview
Recycle BC’s Program Plan outlines its commitment to better understand what and how much packaging and paper is being collected in municipal residential source-separated organics systems. Recycle BC worked to determine how much paper and packaging enters into the residential source-separated organics collection system.
How It Worked
Research began in 2018 by conducting audits from curbside and multi-family residential source-separated organics systems and continued in 2019 by investigating forms of compostable packaging that are present in organics recycling streams and their end-of-life management.
