As countries around the world seek to efficiently reduce and manage their waste in response to global environmental targets, the field of waste management is playing a critical role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our communities. If students want to apply their environmental and technical skills on the front lines of the fight against climate change, the Sustainable Waste Management graduate certificate program will provide them with industry-leading skills to work in a variety of industrial, municipal or organizational settings. By understanding how waste systems function, students can develop informed solutions, whether assessing diversion rates for solid and organic waste, introducing cutting-edge technologies, or demonstrating what it means to shift to a circular economy. Apply learning through applied research projects and work with community and industry partners to identify innovative solutions to real-world problems. The optional co-op stream is the only one of its kind in Ontario to provide hands-on paid work experience in the field.
