Join us to hear from a great panel of speakers from organizations who are taking action with solutions for CD&R waste.
Construction, demolition and renovation (incl. restoration) waste represents a significant portion (4 million tonnes or 12%) of the solid waste stream generated in Canada. It also presents an opportunity for innovation and better processes for recycling, reusing and circular building practices.
