This study
undertook an extensive overview of the state of recycling in Ontario, including
detailed discussions on the types of material being generated and diverted and
the economics of Blue Box recycling.
Specifically,
this study examined how Blue Box generation, recovery and costs have changed
over time, and identified trends in the data to suggest that material
management costs are increasing inordinately relative to the quantities of
material being recovered.
While it is
difficult to specifically isolate the cause for rising system costs, there is
evidence in the data to suggest that high cost "fringe" materials now
comprise a larger share all material being generated in the province.
