5.2. Consortium ÉCHO-Logique<br />

• The Consortium ÉCHO-Logique is a social enterprise that specializes in the management of waste from<br />

event sites. More specifically, it responds to the environmental, economic and social needs of event<br />

planners by collecting, reusing and marketing waste, as well as raising awareness and educating the public<br />

about environmental issues.<br />

• During the 2010 festival season, 74 special events from 10 Québec regions used the Consortium’s services,<br />

enabling it to di<strong>vert</strong> 240 tons of recyclable materials from landfill sites. Of those 74 events, 56 took place<br />

in <strong>Montréal</strong>.<br />
