MISSION 2030

JOIN IN THE ACTION

CRI COUNCIL

Eliminating the Concept of Building Waste

Construction Resource Initiatives Council:

• 2009/10: Construction Recycling Initiatives Task Group (CRI Task Group)

• 2011 - INitiated: Construction Resource Initiatives Council’– Incorporated Non-profit– Non-partisan– Architecture 2030 Adopter– Official Partner of UNEP-GPWM (United Nations Environment

Programme-Global Partnership on Waste Management)

• 2012 – INspiration workshop in Wakefield Québec

• 2013 - Officially calling all stakeholders to join IN the ACTION for Mission 2030

MISSION 2030: a call-to-ACTION; An initiative based on fundamental change management principles* Defining the direction of change * Overcoming inertia* Taking the 1st steps

WHY: the reasons for change in how we view & deal with resources

HOW: the guiding principles to realize the WHY

WHAT: the tangible proof & results, the tangible ways to realize the why

For Clarity…

• IC&I: Industrial, Commercial & Institutional • C&D: Construction, Renovation & Demolition


WHY: The purpose, cause or belief, the driving motivation for action

Inefficient use of building/construction resources

• Buildings use ≈ 40% of global resources

• Construction waste estimated to be 20-40% of municipal waste stream in North America– while 95% is theoretically recoverable

• ≈ 1/3 of total waste stream is residential managed by municipalities

• ≈ 2/3 is Industrial, Commercial & Institutional (IC&I) managed by private sector – a resource covered by free trade agreements (i.e.: NAFTA - North American Free Trade Agreement)

Ref.: Growing Waste, Stalled Diversion, State of Waste in Canada by Paul van der Werf & Michael Cant; Solid Waste Magazine, June/July - 2012

Canadian Non-Hazardous & Non-Residential Discards




Inefficient use of building/construction resources While population & per capita waste generation growsthe planet that sustains us remains finite

Canada’s municipal waste generated per capita has been steadily increasing since 1980.

Ref.: Growing Waste, Stalled Diversion, State of Waste in Canada by Paul van der Werf & Michael Cant; Solid Waste Magazine, June/July - 2012

Ref.: Conference Board of Canada

Canada produces 894 kg per capita of municipal waste annually, more than twice as much as the best performer, Japan.

Municipal waste is only 1/3 of total waste & 2/3 is industrial commercial institutional



Canada also receives a ‘D’ grade on Innovation

Countries w/highest overall scores not only spend more on technology, but also have policies that drive supply & demand

In 2007, US also scored a ‘D’, placed barely ahead of Canada

Ref.: US EPA Compliance and Stewardship 2007

Effectively communicating enforcement activities to the public and the regulated community both improves awareness of compliance requirements and sends a clear message that failure to comply has consequences

Link: Increasing the nation’s recycling rate just 1% will cut greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of taking more than 1.3 million cars off the road — that’s more than all the cars registered in the state of Utah / sim. to Toronto



In 2007, EPA, the American Institute of Architects, Building Materials Reuse Association ? West Coast Green sponsored a nationwide competition for students and professionals to spur innovative building & building components designs as well as management practices that anticipate future use

Life Cycle Assessment is a complex but necessary science for sustainable transformation, as it considers: Fossil fuel & other non-renewable resource

depletion Global warming potential Stratospheric ozone depletion Ground-level ozone creation (smog) Nutrification / Eutrophication of water bodies Acidification & deposition (dry & wet) Toxic releases to air, water & land



Engagement of all required, in measurement & verification processes will only happen when all affected by the change processes understand sustainability fundamental, and see the need for change


Economical Impacts• Landfills cost everyone • For 1 landfill job, there can be 10 in recovery – green jobs• Strategic zero waste transformation contributes to

business/economic growth • Perception that resource efficient products always cost more

In a 2002 Wastecap Wisconsin & Alliant Energy study, ‘Implementing a Reduction and Recycling Program at a

Commercial Construction Site’, $15,000 was saved through avoided disposal costs

Social Impacts



Ref.: www.dumpthedump.ca

An article in the Napanee Beaver read:Local Doctors Oppose Dump‘there is significant information to support the belief that large dumps are a poor choice for waste disposal… The Napanee area is a particularly poor site for a mega-dump’

Questions: • Have locals reduced their resource

consumption & waste generation• Where would a mega-dump be

‘acceptable’


Social Impacts

• Nearly half of the world population live in waste– Immense Health Impacts

• Natural resources such as gypsum (20% water content) could be a source of water for arid countries



Understandably, developing countries aim to be like us, where resources are plentyfull

Lack of Awareness & Understanding of the issue’s Complexities:• Countless factors

– Regulations – Global Markets - Free trade– Design (architectural, interior &

industrial) – Segregated industry sectors – Resources for education – Economics

• Impacts • Potential solutions

Change Strategy1. Defining the direction of

change2. Overcome inertia3. Taking the 1st steps


• Awareness• Desire• Knowledge• Ability• Reinforcement


Communication• www.cricouncil.com• Linkedin• Tweeter• Facebook

• OPIN– an online engagement tool– aka ‘Crowdsourcing’– giving control of the

product & the result over to the users

Economical Driven Movement…• Recycling History as far back as 400BC• Post WWII – economics influenced recycling

– Countries with little natural resources continued recycling– Others such as US largely abandoned it

• Come back in 1970s on the heel of the environmental movement. Especially with the adopted symbol

• In 2012 The Bureau of International Recycling estimates that the recycling sector employs more than 1.5 million people in the processing of million tons of commodities, with industry revenue topping in excess of $200 billion every year.''
