Waste Audit Results
KRP has undertaken waste audits on 10 of its largest
properties this summer. What this process revealed
is our efforts to improve our waste diversion are really
paying off! This year we have implemented new and
improved standardized recycling programs for mixed
paper, paper towels, cardboard, mixed recyclable
containers, batteries, electronics, toner cartridges
and light tubes. We have partnered with Cascades
Recovery to standardize the recycling programs at
all KRP facilities and this year have added batteries,
electronics, toners and wood pallets into our collection
network. KRP’s goal is to have all of our buildings
meet and exceed the provincial diversion target of
60%, and we are well on our way! The results of
a composting pilot we are undertaking will inform
our next steps in terms of expanding food waste
composting across the portfolio.
