In this course, students will develop practical skills and knowledge to apply environmental laws and regulations, including the Environmental Protection Act, the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, and the Waste Diversion Transition Act. They will explore the interconnected roles of municipal, provincial, and federal governments in waste management legislation, both in Canada and internationally. Students will learn to conduct real-world environmental audits aligned with industry standards (e.g., ISO 14001) and perform on-site waste reduction and recycling assessments, considering sustainability, climate change, and municipal solid waste management practices.
