Working with the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre, CWRE increased the show’s “green” factor, using easily recycled materials and accessible collection systems. According to the survey, this effort was recognized and appreciated.
Company exhibits focused on collection, hauling, processing and disposal of waste; materials recycling; and municipal recycling programs, including blue box programs, MRFs, scrap metals, C&D, wood, plastic, paper, auto, tires, fiber and more.
