Congratulations to our partner, Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) on their joint announcement with the Government of Alberta on the expansion of Alberta's electronics recycling program! Starting next year, #Alberta will begin permanently #recycling more than 500 additional electronic items, including cell phones, power tools and microwaves. We can't wait to see the impact this program will have on the province. These electronic items can be dropped off at any of the 365 registered recycling depots in 148 municipalities across the province!
Exciting News from ARMA! As of April 1, 2025, we're proud to announce the official expansion of Alberta's electronics recycling program, marking a significant milestone in our journey toward a sustainable future. Our ePilot initiative has paved the way for this achievement, and we’re thrilled to share the results: 🌱 Over 21,268 tonnes of previously unrecycled electronics have found a new life. 📈 Our list of recyclable electronics has grown from just 12 to over 500 types. 🔋 We've successfully collected around 2,800 solar panels! But this expansion is about more than just numbers—it's about innovation, foresight, and a commitment to a greener future. The success of our ePilot, including the introduction of solar panel recycling, has confirmed our belief in the importance of addressing renewables. As technology rapidly advances with solar panels, wind turbines, and EV batteries, we’re stepping up to meet the challenge of managing and recycling the waste generated by these innovations. Through our Innovation Grant Program, in partnership with Quantum Lifecycle Partners, we’re driving forward new recycling technologies that will not only protect our environment but also create jobs and boost Alberta's economy. A huge thank you to Minister Schultz, the Government of Alberta, and all our partners for their unwavering support. Together, we're building a future where waste is a thing of the past. #Sustainability #ElectronicsRecycling #Innovation #FutureWithoutWaste
