For property management companies, Vancouver's ambitious sustainability goals presents both a challenge and an opportunity: to embrace and enhance sustainable waste management practices that meet the high standards of the community and contribute to the city's green legacy.

Vancouver's corporate sector has a unique opportunity to lead by example. With the city's ambitious goal to become the greenest city in the world, businesses are under increasing pressure to demonstrate environmental responsibility. A robust recycling strategy is more than a compliance measure; it's a statement of corporate values and a cornerstone of a sustainable brand identity.

As our city strives to meet its ambitious sustainability targets, understanding and implementing effective waste management and recycling strategies become pivotal in securing and enhancing LEED certification.

Aside from its environmental benefits, how can recycling positively impact your business?

The more people choose to recycle, the greater the impact recycling will have. As a result, it is important that every individual contributes to recycling efforts. For this reason, recycling should be mandatory.

If you are concerned about the amount of waste your office produces, it is time to reduce or reuse.

The best option for dealing with plastic is reducing the amount we use in the first place. For the plastic waste we do produce, there is plastic recycling.

Not only does recycling save millions of trees but it also saves 40% of energy in the manufacturing process.
