Description

Alberta Environment would like to build on its long history of environmental stewardship by assessing design for environment (DfE) opportunities within its current Waste Stewardship Programs: i) used oil and oil products, ii) non-milk beverage containers, iii) waste electronics and iv) scrap tires. This report assesses how each of Alberta’s existing stewardship programs align with criteria for effectively stimulating design for environment and pollution prevention and whether DfE is relevant to each program or product group. The report also identifies opportunities for Alberta Environment to stimulate design for environment and pollution prevention activities in industry, in order to evolve its waste management programs and take a broader approach that prevents waste and improves product environmental impacts across the life cycle.
