This episode features a conversation about approaches to dealing the mountains of garbage being generated by our linear “Take, Make, and Waste” economy with Dr. Calvin Lakhan, Director of the “Waste Wiki Project” at York University. As calls for a “circular” economy that views “garbage” as a wasted “resource” have gained popularity, the notion of “Extended Producer Responsibility” or EPR has become a key waste management strategy. But so far EPR has failed to live up proponent claims and Ontario’s recycling rate is tanking. The question is why and what can be done about it? Issues discussed include EPR and Ontario’s Blue Box Program, incineration, “planned obsolescence’ and “The Right to Repair” movement.
