Description
The aim of this project is to develop a tool for carrying out material flow analyses (MFA) on an organizational scale. It also includes the design of a performance index to evaluate residual materials management within the Quebec government. In addition, a centralized knowledge base will be set up to identify existing practices and potential outlets for materials consumed and discarded by government organizations. Taken together, these components will help to better equip the government in its management of resources and residual materials.
