The Importance of C&D Recycling

Composition of C&D material: 3 – 5 million tonnes disposed in 2002 in

municipal or private landfills Material is usually mixed or contaminated

Markets are available for recycled materials: Metals mostly recycled Concrete used in road beds (aggregate sub.) Asphalt pavement largely recycled Drywall Old Corrugated Cardboard (OCC)

Three projects related to the C&D sector: Recycling of construction materials from 15

residential and commercial sites in the GTA (report on Recycling in Canada web site)

Canadian standard for design and disassembly of buildings (www.csa.ca)

Facilitating greater reuse and recycling of structural steel in the C&D process (report available upon request)

C&D Materials; GHG Emission Reductions

Source: Athena Institute

Example:For every one kg. of drywall recycled, the emission of 24 kg. of CO2e is avoided.

Roofing Materials Recycling - Opportunities

High levels of material recovery 1.25 Million tonnes of

residential shingles to landfill every year

Significant GHG emission reduction potential If 5% of total HMA used

recycled shingles, 90,000 tonnes of CO2 emission reductions could be achieved

Workshop held in Toronto February 2006 to identify: Strategies to shift the flow of end-of-life

roofing materials away from landfill Value added applications Economic and technical impediments to

recycling GHG emissions reductions are possible via

recycling activities Roles of each key stakeholder

Enhanced Recycling of Roofing Materials Workshop

Transportation Surfaces Need to provide consistently high

quality product

Energy Recovery For that which cannot be recovered

for its material value

Other Uses Sound proofing products

Research and development

Best practices and business models

Incentives and regulation

Communication and education strategies

Workshop Results

Potential Implementation pilots in the following municipalities:

Metro Vancouver

Calgary

Region of Peel

Halifax Region (currently recycling)

Pilots for the West and Ontario spring or early summer 2008

Activities Resulting from Workshop

Page 15: Recycling Roofing Materials in Canada 3 rd Asphalt Shingle Recycling Forum November 1 & 2, 2007 Chicago, Illinois Michael Clapham, NRCan.

Metro Vancouver

100,000 tonnes asphalt roofing disposed Expected to increase 4X over next 5 years

Looking for a member municipality to use processed shingles in hot mix asphalt Need to coordinate with

contracting cycles Need to identify housing

projects and storage areas

Page 16: Recycling Roofing Materials in Canada 3 rd Asphalt Shingle Recycling Forum November 1 & 2, 2007 Chicago, Illinois Michael Clapham, NRCan.

Calgary

Alberta has made C&D recycling a provincial priority

83,000 tonnes per year asphalt roofing disposed in Alberta

25,000 tonnes per year asphalt roofing disposed in Calgary

Manufacturers off-cuts are being recycled in Edmonton

Calgary to propose a tear-off shingle recycling project next spring

Page 17: Recycling Roofing Materials in Canada 3 rd Asphalt Shingle Recycling Forum November 1 & 2, 2007 Chicago, Illinois Michael Clapham, NRCan.

Region of Peel

50,000 tonnes per year asphalt roofing disposed in Peel

C&D waste goes mainly to private landfills

Region is interested in recycling of asphalt shingles

Will explore the possibility of a pilot early next year

Page 18: Recycling Roofing Materials in Canada 3 rd Asphalt Shingle Recycling Forum November 1 & 2, 2007 Chicago, Illinois Michael Clapham, NRCan.

Halifax Regional Municipality

12,000 tonnes per year asphalt roofing disposed in HRM, 30,000 tonnes for N.S.

Currently HRM is recovering most of it’s asphalt shingles Tar and grit into paving Flake for energy recovery
