Contamination and Discard Rates
---
A brief description of any recycling quality control mechanisms employed:
Maintenance employees are trained to recognize contamination when collecting bags (PVM, MRO, Paper/Cardboard). A detailed characterization is also planned for 2022. For more details, see RMMP: https://www.etsmtl.ca/ets/a-propos/le-developpement-durable-ets
Programs and Initiatives
Important and behavioural change information is regularly communicated to the community. For more details, see the Residual Materials Management Policy (RMMP): https://www.etsmtl.ca/ets/a-propos/le-developpement-durable-ets
A brief description of the institution's waste audits and other initiatives to assess its materials management efforts and identify areas for improvement:
Drafting of a RMMP and an action plan in RMM, for more details see RMMP: https://www.etsmtl.ca/ets/a-propos/le-developpement-durable-ets

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Although we used 2016-2017 as the baseline year in the 2018 STARS file, we wish to change the baseline year to 2017-2018 because we have since developed a more reliable, representative, and true-to-life data collection and data entry methodology.
The new baseline year represents the earliest year for which the most reliable data is available. For the performance year, it is the most recent year that was not affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
