What is Integrated Resource Management?
Integrated Resource Management (IRM) is a process that promotes integrated management of solid and liquid waste residuals to maximize resource recovery through combined processing of some, or all of these materials.
From 2017-18, the CRD Board took a close look at all waste streams to find proven practical solutions to recover resources and make sure they are beneficially used. This IRM procurement process concluded in 2018 and the Board has since directed staff to pursue beneficial use options for discreet waste streams.
