There are a myriad of community benefits that emerge from the full circle systems approach we took to ensure the RRC reaches its full potential, including:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Building a local circular economy across sectors through facilitating opportunities for diversion and reuse<\/p>\n
\u2022 Investing in the reuse economy by designing site infrastructure to facilitate access to the feedstock of ‘waste’ materials to increase supply and demand in local secondary markets<\/p>\n
\u2022 Providing lower cost waste diversion options (i.e., source separated clean wood waste) for the construction\/deconstruction sector<\/p>\n
\u2022 Creating low-barrier employment opportunities, supporting non-profit sector social programs and providing low-cost building supplies to residents and builders<\/p>\n
\u2022 Reducing financial burdens for residents by reducing the amount of waste shipped to landfill and the upstream\/downstream impacts of waste and associated impacts (i.e., greenhouse gas emissions)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Supporting new and existing industry and the emergence of a local deconstruction sector<\/p>\n
\u2022 Building local resiliency to buffer compounding issues due to disruptions, inflation, global shipping and material supply challenges<\/p>\n
\u2022 Facilitating an educational hub with opportunities for skills training, research, repair workshops and educational tours<\/p>\n
