SDK Environmental Consulting & Services January 23, 2015 James Emary Landscape Supervisor Wilfrid Laurier University 75 University Avenue W. Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3C5 REFERENCE: 2014 Waste Audit & Waste Reduction Work Plan SDK Project P0455b Dear Mr. Emary: Per your request, SDK Environmental is pleased to provide you with the results of WLU s Kitchener Campus 2014 waste audit report for the facility located at 120 Duke Street, Kitchener, Ontario. Through discussions with WLU, estimates of the annual amounts of waste materials disposed, recycled and reused were determined. The facility generated a total of approximately 64.9 MT of solid non-hazardous waste in 2014. The total amount of waste material diverted from landfill through existing recycling/reuse programs was approximately 45.9 MT. Refer to Appendix A for 2014 data and MOE compliance forms. The following table summarizes the quantities of materials reused, recycled and disposed in 2014. Waste Quantities ReUsed, Recycled and Disposed Material Total Waste Percent (Metric Tonnes) Waste Disposed to Landfill 19.00 29.3% Material Reused 2.32 3.6% Material Recycled 43.54 67.1% Total Waste Generated 64.86 100% Based on the total amount of waste generated and materials recycled and reused, the 2014 waste diversion rate through existing programs at WLU Kitchener Campus was approximately 71%. The 2014 waste diversion rate is higher than the MOE s provincial objective of 60% to be achieved by 2008. 298 John Street, P.O.

VI. EXTENT TO WHICH MATERIALS OR PRODUCTS USED OR SOLD BY THE ENTITY CONSIST OF RECYCLED OR REUSED MATERIALS OR PRODUCTS Please answer the following questions: 1. Do you have a management policy in place that promotes the purchasing and/or use of materials or products that consist of recycled and/or reused materials or products? If yes, please describe. No formal green purchasing policy is in place at WLU. However, the different purchasing departments at WLU do consider environmental impacts of their purchases. For example, the Superior Cleaning Solutions (i.e. WLU s custodial contractor) uses some (approximately 40%) green custodial products. WLU also has a used furniture reuse program in place to reuse as much furniture as possible on campus. Used furniture is stored in a warehouse until it can be reused. Approximately 90% of all office paper purchased by Printing Services contains 30-50% post-consumer recycled content. The paper purchased is also Forest Stewardship Council (FSC ) certified and processed chlorine-free (PCF). Approximately 80% of desktop and laptop computers and monitors purchased by Information Technology Services are registered EPEAT silver or gold. The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) evaluates computers on a number of environmental attributes including, but not limited to, materials selection and design for end of life. 2. Do you have plans to increase the extent to which materials or products used or sold* consist of recycled or reused materials or products? If yes, please describe. As stated in the Sustainability Policy, Laurier is committed to: Assess, wherever possible through all life cycle phases, the environmental impact of all purchases, in terms of raw materials, manufacture, distribution, use and disposal, and to assess suppliers in a number of areas. Work with faculty, staff, students and service providers to significantly reduce the University s waste output to landfill through the development and implementation of best practice waste management routines, establishing sustainable segregation and recycling regimes for an increasing number of materials and promoting waste minimization. WLU is committed to continually improve recycling and reuse programs on campus. WLU will be expanding their centralized multi-sort container recycling program. * Information regarding materials or products sold that consist of recycled or reused materials or products is only required from owner(s) of retail shopping establishments and the owner(s) or operator(s) of large manufacturing establishments. Please attach any additional page(s) as required to answer the above questions. I hereby certify that the information provided in this Report of Waste Audit is complete and correct.
