2. Approach to Updating the SW MP


10/19

Diverting w aste from landfills

Develop regional organics management facilities(4% additional diversion potential) Enhance disposal bans (4%) Modify demolition and building permit process (4%) Provide wood drop-off facilities (3%) Expand take-back/deposit programs

(e-waste and small appliances)(2%) Expand plastics collection (1%)

3. The Firs t 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse , Recycle


11/19

Organics Management Facilities

To process: Yard waste Commercial waste

Residential waste Paper and paperboard

Decrease organic waste disposed of at landfills Review organics technologies and potential

sites

The Firs t 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

4. The 4 th R: Materials and Energy Recovery

Options for Remaining W aste

Further Investment in 3Rs- continue to seek opportunities- limits to diversion

Materials Recovery

- Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT)- Material Recovery Facility (MRF)

Energy Recovery


14/19

Long-term goal to eliminate landfilling of unprocessed waste Waste-to-Energy reduces waste to 5% of original volume Consider technologies and their potential environmental and air

quality effects

The 4 th R: Materials and Energy Recovery

Energy Recovery

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions in BC BC energy self-sufficiency by 2016 - Lower Mainland need for electricity


15/19

Air Quality

Metro Vancouver is committed to safeguarding the regions air

quality through: 2005 Air Quality Management Plan

minimize risk to public health

minimize contribution to global warming improve visibility

Management of a 27-station air monitoring network

The 4 th R: Materials and Energy Recovery

Any future waste management facility will meetthe highest air emission standards

I ntegration of the SW MP w ith otherMetro Vancouver plans

The Solid Waste Management Plan is linked to the:

Regional Growth Strategy

Air Quality Management Plan

Liquid Waste Management Plan


19/19

Develop a draft plan

Goals, Strategies, Actions, Measures Further consultation on draft plan

public, municipal, First Nations, agency input

Finalize plan for Board approval

Submit plan to Ministry of Environment for final approval
