Z2.3Advocate for new recycling and waste reduction initiatives

With a recycling rate of 65%—nearly double the Canadian average—Metro Vancouver is recognized as a leader in recycling across North America. Despite this success, further opportunities exist to strengthen waste reduction and diversion efforts while lowering overall greenhouse gas emissions.

This action will see City staff advocate to Recycle BC and Metro Vancouver for the implementation of innovative global recycling and waste reduction initiatives, aiming to build on current successes and drive further progress.
