Cut from entrepreneurial cloth, ÉEQ is among the first entities to have considered curbside recycling from the systemic perspective, as a value chain. At first, those who have since become our partners must have wondered why ÉEQ had invested such effort and perhaps even why companies did not simply sign the cheques!
Nearly 80% of sorting centres in Québec sought to take part in the experimental glass processing technology projects that we are leading under the Innovative Glass Works plan, in which ÉEQ’s contributing companies have invested over $6.7 million, in addition to their legal obligations. The project also sparked interest among Here and around the world, recyclable materials conditioners and recyclers here and abroad. evolved from waste to resource.
