An article from today`s issue of The Globe and Mail. Some excerpts:
This $10-million electronic-waste recycling facility, opened in March, is the crowning Glory of the Edmonton Waste Management Centre - which was already a world-class installation. In the shadow of Alberta`s notoriously dirty oil-sands-extraction business, Edmonton has developed one of the planet`s most sophisticated and thorough waste-management regimes.
Edmonton`s garbage regime is a world class endeavour. It is, however, far from a complete solution - not as long as two-thirds of the city`s waste generated by commercial and industrial activity remains outside its purview. The first step toward solving that riddle, though, is the one Edmonton has already taken - approaching all of its old goop as potential gold.
