1 The State of Waste in Ontario Paul van der Werf and Michael Cant 17 May 2012

2 Introduction Waste generation trends in Canada Overview of waste generation in Ontario On the horizon Where to from here

3 Introduction In general overall waste diversion is stalled nationally and provincially Is waste diversion important to us as a society?

4 Waste Generation Trends in Canada Waste generation tripled since 1940 Waste generated per capita over a lifetime has doubled since 1940

5 Waste Generation Trends in Canada kg/capita/year kg/capita

6 Waste Generation Trends in Ontario kg/capita/year 1200 Waste Generation 1000 kg/capita Waste Generation

7 Waste Generation Trends in Ontario Residential vs IC&I Disposal kg/capita Residential Disposal IC&I Disposal

8 Waste Generation Trends in Ontario Residential vs IC&I Diversion kg/capita Residential Diversion IC&I Diversion

9 Waste Generation Trends in Ontario Observations Waste generation continues to increase Residential and IC&I waste disposal follow similar trends Residential and IC&I waste diversion shows sharp increase for residential but a sharp decline for IC&I

10 Waste Generation Trends in Ontario Observations Since 1998 waste disposal increased by 14% and waste diversion increased by 32% for residential sector- diversion at 38% Since 1998 waste disposal increased by 27% and waste diversion decreased by 45% for residential sector- diversion at 13%

11 Waste Generation Trends in Ontario Diversion detail- Paper and Organics kg/capita Organics Paper Fibre

12 Waste Generation Trends in Ontario Diversion detail- Organics kg/capita Residential IC&I

13 Waste Generation Trends in Ontario Diversion detail- Plastics and Glass kg/capita Plastics Glass

14 Waste Generation Trends in Ontario Diversion detail- C&D kg/capita C&D

15 Waste Diversion Trends in Ontario Observations Paper fibre and Organics continue to grow and are biggest contributors to diversion On a per capita basis organics likely now exceeds paper fibre Glass on decline and plastic on incline. On a per capita basis plastics likely close to glass Most notably roles of residential and IC&I diversion reversed

16 On the Horizon in Ontario Waste Diversion % Overall Residential IC&I

17 On the Horizon in Ontario Waste Diversion Trend to capture the energy from waste Organic wastes (waste, energy, nutrients) Residual waste (volume reduction, energy) Continued focus on residential waste: Organic waste Stewardship program What s missing IC&I strategy including for C&D wastes

18 On the Horizon in Ontario Organics A key driver to increasing waste diversion Residential diversion continues upswing IC&I lags

19 Infrastructure Guelph Compost Facility Toronto AD Facilities Harvest Power AD facility for IC&I On farm AD facilities

20 On the Horizon in Ontario MSW Capturing energy from residual wastes Durham York Energy Center

21 Where to from here Residential waste diversion reasonable at 38% and continuing to grow Considerable efforts required to move towards 60% Feasible for some municipalities but not province wide IC&I diversion rate at 13% and continuing to decline Need to focus efforts beyond residential sector to IC&I

22 Where to from here Residential diversion programs funded with public dollars. Choices not only monetary IC&I diversion largely a function of the cost. Diversion typically results in a higher cost so no progress and a decline IC&I and C&D wastes should be a target

23 Where to from here Should consider changing economic landscape if waste diversion is considered a priority Could include: Landfill Bans: e.g. Organics, Cardboard, C&D etc. Landfill Tax : A per tonne fee paid on wastes going to landfill to fund diversion programs

24 Where to from here Is more diversion important or necessary? Our group would say yes The public would say yes Business owners may say no if it costs more Given that IC&I wastes make up 65% of Ontario waste stream additional diversion can have a significant impact Are we prepared to pay more??

25 Paul van der Werf Thank-you Michael Cant (905)
