There was broad support for the development of such a network fromthe business community in the Partners in Project Green Strategy.In March of 2009, the Resource Reutilization Team issued a request for proposals (RFP)to complete a feasibility study on the development of a materials exchange network inthe Pearson Eco-Business Zone. The successful respondent was the Emerald Groupand they were asked to:• Look at existing regional materials exchanges globally;• Determine key industrial sectors, types of waste products, policy frameworks,engagement tools, governance and funding models that ensure the success ofthese initiatives;• Identify whether the conditions for success are present within the Pearson Eco-Business Zone and Greater Toronto Area (GTA) broadly; and,• Provide recommendations to move forward with the development of a materialsexchange network in the Pearson Eco-Business Zone if deemed feasible.
