Construction and demolition materials recycled, donated, or otherwise recovered:
Construction and demolition materials landfilled or incinerated:
Percentage of construction and demolition materials diverted from the landfill or incinerator through recycling, donation and/or other forms of recovery:
A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
A clause has been added to the calls for tenders' specifications for construction and renovation projects. Contractors must therefore commit to the standards and manage waste responsibly (and anticipate and quote for the expected costs involved).
In 2017-2018, the data collected showed that the dedicated containers for construction waste were sent to be sorted out and recycled. A specific fee was paid for this service.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Between 2017 and 2018, Polytechnique had work done on some of the existing science laboratories and masonry work. This was not considered to be a major renovation.
For this section, we are using the flexibility offered by AASHE for STARS reporting and are submitting the last data available for this section. Data are the latest available and are from 2017-2018, therefore within the previous 6 years. The 3 last years (2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022 - for which the data are not yet available for this section) have been greatly impacted by COVID-19 pandemic. In the province of Quebec, we were subjected to confinement and various sanitary measures limiting activities and access on campus. Furthermore, any assessment during this period can not be representative of regular activities since teaching, research and operations were affected throuhout those years at different levels of intensity and duration, because of evolving and changing sanitary measures and going back and forth into and out of confinement.
