According to an Ontario Auditor General's 2010 Annual Report " Based on the latest information available at the time of our audit, the combined diversion rate of waste generated by the residential and industrial, commercial, and institutional (IC&I) sectors was about 24%. "
Residential waste diversion has increased from 2004. The IC&I sectors (under provincial jurisdiction) actually worsened. B.C. and Nova Scotia both have much higher IC&I waste diversion rates. They both also have legislation prohibiting the landfilling of recycleable materials. Could it be this simple?

Ford to use Reclaimed Dungarees
That's what I'm talking about! Using old jeans for the soundproofing of cars instead of landfilling. This is the kind of thinking we all need to be doing. The company that demonstrates this shows sustainable direction and good marketing. I suddenly like Ford a little more.
