9. Waste management
9.1. Québec Residual Materials Management Policy
• The Québec Residual Materials Management Policy is part of the government’s shift toward building a
greener economy. In fact, the some 13 million tons of waste produced each year in Québec constitute an
excellent potential source of production for goods and energy.
• The policy’s main goal is to ensure that the only residual material sent for disposal in Québec is end waste.
• It includes measures that address the three main challenges of waste management:
– Ending resource waste;
– Helping achieve the goals of the Climate Change Action Plan and the Québec Energy Strategy;
– Making the stakeholders involved in waste management more accountable.
