Publication file replaced with new one at request of author department, 8 August 2023. Includes bibliographical references. "In 2016, Canadians generated approximately 34 million tonnes of municipal solid waste. Of this amount, 9 million tonnes (27%) was diverted through material recovery facilities or centralized organics processing operations (i.e., recycling and composting), and 25 million tonnes (73%) was sent for disposal in landfills, to incineration facilities, for thermal treatment (e.g. energy from waste, gasification) or for residual waste processing (e.g. conversion to an alternative fuel source). This national waste characterization study has been undertaken to develop a better understanding of the characterization of Canada's residual municipal solid waste (MSW)"--Executive summary, page i (1st section).
