- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Explore Edmonton is looking for insights on how our Community and Signature Events division can adopt innovative waste management systems. It's no surprise that major, mass-attended events tend to have a reputation for being wasteful. We are looking for out-of-the-box ways to control waste with the ultimate goal being two-fold: the reduce waste created and, increase waste diverted from landfill. The student(s) would benefit from researching other examples of success in this area and well as practical targets or goals that might be recommended, medium to long-term. When advising on potential controls the student may consider both structural/ engineering controls and behavioral controls that would help to eliminate barriers to accurate waste sorting and management. We would need to explore (at a high level) the relationships that need to be considered in the full life cycle of materials procured and produced (internal and external) and also any stakeholders that should be engaged as we continue to take action towards SDG 12.
