phew!
“Get Moving on your Immovables!”
þ Buildings account for 25% of all landfilled waste, 50% of all natural resource extracHon, 1/3 of all energy use
þ ¾ of all landfills in NA have filled to capacity and closed since 1978
þ Diversion in Ontario is stagnaHng at 25% overall, and at 13% for the ICI sector
þ 3R RegulaHons, 70% of all waste is generated at work

Goals are at odds with our progress. What’s missing?
Targets: 60% Diversion Performance: 13% Diversion

Our predicament
þ We spend a lot of Hme and energy that isn’t as purposeful as it could be
þ Our focus has been on recycling alone: we
love our metrics and live in an evidenced based world
þ We’ve focused on targets and forgot
about the relaHonal aspects of managing waste

Typical approach to managing waste
þ Place blue boxes and other recycling receptacles in common areas
þ Arrange for cleaners to remove the
materials to a central collecHon area
þ Engage a hauler(s) to transport
material to landfill or a MRF for processing

Let’s Get Moving!
þ Over half of BOMA BESt® CerHfied Office buildings divert more than 60% of their waste from landfill (only 13% overall for ICI)
þ We would benefit from a more engaged relaHonship to the criteria if they want to truly move toward
a landfill free building þ Let’s start working with the waste criteria

A mature relationship to our goals
Leadership: It’s very practical
þ Our buildings can have all of the “bells and whistles” but it is how our
systems are managed, how we interact and how people behave that ulHmately inform outcomes more than targets, policies or technology alone
þ Engaged people are less likely to try and escape from accountability
![Page 31: Waste Management in Commercial Buildings: Developing Mastery … · 2014-12-01 · Waste Management in Commercial Buildings: Developing Mastery !AGENDA! Why!talk!about waste?!

It’s easy. Success is not future bound. þ The world seems immovable, it is not þ It’s a myth that this integrated approach won’t work in business
þ Costs less from haulage to equipment replacement to operaHonal Hme, it’s much more expensive to do what we are doing þ It’s a decisive and strategic approach to engagement

Change is not on the agenda…it IS the agenda
þ If we feel that in concert with others we can have an impact, we are more likely to act.
þ Shin the narraHve from what is wrong to what is possible!
