URBAN IMPACT
Recycling and waste diversion was a new concept in the early 1990’s. Back then recycling was a bit radical. Urban Impact launched as one of the first multi-material recycling company in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia. Efforts to convince businesses to recycle and divert waste from landfill took time to catch on as a business norm. In addition, the regional district implemented material bans at landfill – incentivizing businesses to divert paper and cardboard and gradually adding many other materials. Urban Impact focused on delivering innovative solutions to a wide range of commercial customers who were looking to improve their sustainability processes, goals, and reporting. We have always focused on the customer first, and this commitment, we believe is a big part of our success today.
