T H E T RAS H :

Inc inerat ion? Compact ing? And what about

just mak ing less waste in the f i rst p lace?

M A E V E H A L D A N E , B F A 9 1

The first step to dealing with

waste, everyone agrees, is to stop

making so much of it to begin

with. That’s the easy part. Progress

gets more complicated.

In cities, where so many live in such

close quarters, a lot of waste is produced

and needs to be transformed somehow

or placed somewhere. The ease with

which waste can be properly handled

depends very much on where you live,

and must take into account climate and

geography, infrastructure and cost.

Concordia is one of Canada’s leading

universities in the study of cities, and

waste management is one of more than

115 programs or areas of study here.

We talked trash with three Concordia

experts, and some of their observations

might surprise you.

Even the category of waste itself is

tricky, says Chunjiang An, assistant

professor in Building, Civil, and

Environmental Engineering. He’s

consulting for the City of Montreal on

greenhouse gases and disposal systems.

If something isn’t considered useful,

it’s waste – though that can be a matter

of whether a piece of paper stays on

your desk, goes into a recycling bin or

is tossed in the garbage can.

Though the idea is slippery, Professor

An explains that waste can be broken

down into three basic categories: green

waste to be composted, waste to be recy-

cled, or general waste to be disposed of.

In countries where land is at a

premium, as in Japan, for example,

incineration is best. The initial

investment is very high but the ash

remaining is only 5 per cent of the

original mass. Some plants have

“waste-to-energy” systems that generate

electricity during the burning process.

In Canada, with an abundance of

space, landfill is cheap to create, though

we have to pay attention to the leaching

of pollutants into the surrounding area

as well as biogas emissions.

And landfill does fill up. We can re-

duce the burden on landfill by changing

our habits to produce less waste. An lauds

Concordia’s tiny garbage cans in each

office; people have to think twice about

throwing something out. “If we have a big

bin, we want to throw anything into the

bin!” he says. Smaller bins lead people to

throw out only what is “truly not useful.”

“A major issue for waste is volume,”

says An. There are some new types of

trashcans equipped with solar-powered

compactors, An says, so they can hold

more. Downtown buildings could have one

large semi-buried waste container instead

of many smaller ones, which would cen-

tralize garbage collection. Trucks could

also have better compacting systems. By

reducing the volume of waste as well as

pickup points, collection and transpor-

tation costs could be halved. Some waste

could go directly to landfill, while other

waste could go to incineration.

“If we have a big bin, we want

to throw anything into the bin!”

–Professor Chunjiang An

P RO F F E R SO LU T I O N S

‘YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE WHOLE’

An would like to see better separation at

the source, too. If a printer breaks, for

example, the components could feasibly

be separated and sent to facilities that

could recuperate or recycle them.

An has confidence our cities can tackle

what seems an insurmountable problem,

with effort and a willingness to spend.

“In the history of our society, we always

have pollution first, then we do pollution

control,” he notes. “I’m an environmental

engineer. We can reduce waste and remove

pollution from the water and air.“There’s

only one big problem: “The cost.”

Professor Catherine Mulligan, thinks

people get too caught up in single

issues, like banning plastic bags that

don’t actually take up much space in a

landfill. “In the long run it doesn’t make

very much difference,” the specialist in

sustainable engineering insists. Holder

of a Concordia Research Chair in Geo-

environmental Sustainability, and an

associate dean of research and graduate

Studies at the Gina Cody School of

Engineering and Computer Science,

Mulligan is also director of the new

Concordia Institute of Water, Energy

and Sustainable Systems.

“The problem is everybody looks at a

little bit here, a little bit there. You have

to look at the whole.” Making reusable

cloth bags and plastic mugs takes a lot

of resources, and when tossed into

landfill, “they take up far more space

than plastic bags.”

She sees waste as a systems prob-

lem. Plastic could be reused or collected

properly, or could be engineered to be

fully biodegradable. When people com-

plain about plastic in the ocean, she

asks, “Why is it going into the ocean in

the first place?”

One solution to the waste of our stuff,

Mulligan asserts, is to have better mod-

ular design. When a component breaks

in your refrigerator or computer, it

should be easy to remove and replace.

We should be able to recuperate the

scarce and precious metals from our old

phones. “This is where the problem is,

not a little plastic bag,” Mulligan says.

Mulligan feels confident that

Montreal’s current landfills, which use

low-permeable geotextile liners and are

properly monitored, are well run.

A nyone who visits Concordia’s new 4TH SPACE — Canada’s first dedicated street-front showcase for academic research and experiential learning opportunities — is in for a memorable stopover. Following a soft launch in November 2018, 4TH SPACE presented workshops on how to make vegan cheese, how to use a chocolate printer and how to raise crickets. If visitors were lucky, some might have left with a sourdough starter kit. These workshops were part of What is Food? — an inaugural installation at 4TH SPACE located on the ground floor of the J. W. McConnell Building on the corner of De Maisonneuve Blvd. and Mackay St.

Few projects at Concordia have inspired as much anticipation and enthusiasm as 4TH SPACE. The next-gen, multi-purpose venue was officially inaugurated in the presence of elected officials in January 2019. 4TH SPACE is a versatile and daring new platform for a rotating selection of research projects. Everyone involved is buzzing with excitement. “It’s part living lab, design showroom, exhibition space, science centre and performance venue,” says Nadia Bhuiyan, vice-provost of Partnerships and Experiential Learning. “Through rotating residencies and curated programs, researchers and students will present work that is designed to engage the public.”

SHARING RESEARCH TO BENEFIT SOCIETYThe result is a sharing of cutting-edge research in an interactive and engaging environment that greatly differs from a more traditional, static academic setting. And that’s the goal, says Graham Carr, provost and vice-president, Academic. He considers 4TH SPACE an opportunity to make Concordia visible to the external community and a vitrine onto what typically happens in labs. He views the space as fundamentally representative of the university itself. “Our mission as a university is to teach students — yet ultimately, it’s about using our research to benefit society,” Carr says. “We have some amazing research taking place here, and by showcasing it, we can nurture

Berzowska and her team of students, drawn from the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science and Faculty of Fine Arts, created the dolls in collaboration with Concordia’s District 3 Innovation Center and the Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture and Technology. With more than two decades of experience in the field of electronic textiles, Berzowska says she wanted to use new smart textile technologies to create something that was both soft and interactive.“One of the code terms I gave to the team was the ‘illusion of life,’” she says. “We wanted to create these little creatures that are completely soft, that children can hold against their whole body and that don’t have any hard plastic edges. At the same time, when you touch them, they’ll react to you — they’ll vibrate or light up or whisper to you.”

Our unique environment for learning and research. Concordia’s academic goals are grounded in an ethos of dynamism and social responsibility. This remarkable environment was created in 974, after merging two proud Montreal traditions — the classic liberal arts education offered by Loyola College and the practical educational opportunities offered to wide audiences by Sir George Williams University.

Today, Concordia is an open and engaged university that encourages its more than 50,000 students to become active, critical and concerned citizens. Our approach has made us the top-ranking university under 50 in Canada and one of the world’s 200 most international universities.

Our commitment to society. Concordia is leading the way to a new kind of university, one that makes higher education accessible. The university shares its ideas through free and open access to scientific findings and seeks ways to make social and economic justice more prevalent. We offer some 500 undergraduate and graduate programs, diplomas and certificates, while maintaining formal ties with more than 00 institutions in 33 countries.

Our strong academic leadership. Concordia is proud of its impressive roster of senior faculty, many established leaders in their respective academic fields, across the Faculty of Fine Arts, Faculty of Arts and Science, Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science, John Molson School of Business and School of Graduate Studies.

WHY CONCORDIA?


Our contributions and discoveries. Every year Concordia faculty and students are recognized for their accomplishments. Whether they are Rhodes Scholars, recipients of Governor General’s and Prix du Québec awards or members of the Royal Society of Canada, Concordians are among the celebrated academics in our country. Our contributions and our discoveries change lives.

Our partnership in Quebec. Concordia’s value to the Quebec economy is estimated at $2 billion annually. And this doesn’t account for the contributions of our 25,000 alumni, 2,000 of whom reside in the university’s home province.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR CONCORDIA: NEXT-GEN. NOW. Concordia is leading its most ambitious fundraising effort ever with a goal to raise $250 million by 2022 (concordia.ca/campaign). The Campaign for Concordia will support nine strategic directions that reinforce our position as Canada’s next-generation university (concordia.ca/directions). Backed by campaign co-chairs Andrew Molson and Lino Saputo Jr, BA 89, volunteer leaders across Canada, the United States and Asia are helping to spur our thinking. To prepare for what’s next, we need you. Join the Campaign for Concordia as we change education for a changing world.
