Designated Electronic Waste Lifespan Analysis, Alberta Recycling Management Corporation (ARMA) (2006, on-going) Developed a lifespan model to estimate the rate at which computer products and televisions will be retired in Alberta and will enter the ARMA Electronics Recycling Alberta (ERA) Stewardship system. Estimates are used for management of the Electronics Fund.
Lifespan Assessment and Research on Flourescent Lighting, Waste Diversion Ontario (2007)
Researched and created a model to identify the amount of fluorescent lighting which will be discarded in Ontario between 2008 and 2015. Estimates take into consideration the market transformation to new lighting designs which will result from higher lighting energy efficiency standards at federal and provincial levels.
Scoping Study and Preliminary Business Planning for Clean Electronics Pollution Prevention Partnership (CEP3) (2006), North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC)
Developed a profile of the electronics and electrical equipment (EEE) sector in Canada, the US and Mexico and developed preliminary workplan, budget and partnership options for a tri-national initiative to promote clean production in the EEE sector.
Ontario WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronics) Study, Waste Diversion Ontario (2005)
Developed baseline estimates of the amount of electronic materials sold into the Ontario market, and used a custom designed model to estimate the amount which could be recovered through a comprehensive stewardship program in Ontario. Full scale roll-out of the electronics recovery program is expected in 2008.
Strategic Advice and Cost and Recovery Estimates, Electronics Product Stewardship Canada (2003 and 2004)
Updated estimates of IT and telecommunications waste generated, reused, recycled and disposed in Canada and updated estimated costs by province of a of national e-waste recovery program.
Baseline Study of Electronic and Electrical Waste in Canada, Environment Canada (2003)
Estimated quantities of electrical and electronic waste generated, recycled and disposed in Canada and identified current infrastructure to manage this waste (with Five Winds International and Electro Federation Canada). Subsequently prepared an omnibus study for Environment Canada (October, 2003) as sub-consultants to RIS International.
Development of National Electronics Recovery Cost Model, ITAC and ElectroFederation of Canada
Provided strategic and technical advice to ITAC (Information Technology Association of Canada) and Electro Federation of Canada on how to develop a national IT waste recovery program to meet the requirements of Ontario and Manitoba legislation. The Client Group subsequently formed Electronics Product Stewardship Canada (EPSC)
Baseline Study of IT and Telecom Waste In Canada, Industry Options and National Roadmap to Recover IT and Telecom Waste
Carried out a series of studies for Environment Canada and ITAC (IT Association of Canada) on the amount of IT and telecommunication waste generated in Canada and how this would change over time with new product development. Developed options for a national recovery program and outlined the steps required to implement a national recovery program.
