The luxurious Fairmont Chateau Whistler hotel
set in the Canadian Rocky Mountains was the backdrop for the Recycling
Council of British Columbia’s (RCBC) annual general meeting and conference last month.
The event is a great opportunity to catch up
with like-minded environmentalists in both public and private sectors. The RCBC has always had the goal to spearhead
extended producer responsibility (EPR) for all relevant industries operating in
British Columbia (BC) since 1974. The
event evolved to become a mixture of proposed sustainability strategies along
with the best innovations that might become part of RCBC work in the future.
Call2Recycle sponsored an educational session,
devoted to resolving the tough sustainability scenarios faced by municipalities
in BC. The rest of the sessions
highlighted sustainability best practices, case studies, and proposals for:
global EPR schemes; stewardship; youth investment; technology; waste
management; and how best to clean up Earth after the oil industry.
The event also included RCBC’s annual award ceremony.
