Approach

Achieve 75% diversion from landfill & incineration.
(2020) (Canada, Office)

Note: Diversion rates are impacted by the total waste weight and the % of diverted weight. Some trends that impacted diversion rates include: 1) Less weight overall; 2) Less organics and paper products, which make up a high % of total weight; 3) Less recyclable material (office - paper shredding; retail - packaging from stores). Regional variables, such as incineration practices and markets for recyclables also impact and can offset occupancy use trends. Efforts to address these impacts are reflected in asset level waste reduction plans.

Achieve 50% diversion from landfill & incineration.

Achieve 60% diversion from landfill & incineration.
(2020) (Canada, Retail)

Note: Due to the pandemic and shopping centre closures, properties saw a decrease in overall waste generation while diversion rates remained unchanged year-over-year. Efforts to address these impacts are reflected in asset level waste reduction plans.

Achieve 55% diversion from landfill & incineration.
(2020) (Canada, Hotels)

Note: Diversion rates are impacted by the total waste weight and the % of diverted weight. Some trends that impacted diversion rates at the hotel assets include: 1) Less weight overall, 2) Less organics, construction, and furniture recycling, which make up a high % of total weight recycled. Efforts to address these impacts are reflected in asset level waste reduction plans.
