Project Description
Over a fourteen-month pilot, Light House worked with eight active construction sites in Metro Vancouver to test whether a circular value chain for construction plastics is feasible in practice. The initiative collected more than 38,000 kg of construction-derived plastic, of which 77 percent was classified as recyclable. The report documents the types, quantities, and recoverability of plastics generated during construction, and identifies the operational conditions that support or hinder effective diversion. It concludes with 27 recommendations to help the industry move from a linear system to a more circular one.
