Abstract
Canada is one of the countries that produce hundreds of kilograms of waste per captia, a number that continues to increase steadily each year. In 2007, our country generated twice as much waste as Japan. Major cities in Ontario, such as Toronto and Ottawa, are facing issues of their landfills reaching its capacity within the next decade. I will research the waste management practices of countries that have a high waste diversion rate and analyze how these practices can be incorporated into Ontario’s regulations. The countries I will discuss the background of the practices are Sweden and Finland because of the similarities to Ontario. Each technology and method used will be analyzed, and a discussion will follow on the applicability of use in Ontario.
