CAR’s world-class technology enables them to maximize recycling opportunities, minimize environmental impacts, and bring cost competitive aggregate and waste-to-value products to the market. The plant and technology align with Alberta’s sustainability needs and priorities, focusing on material re-use, waste reduction, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and economic recovery - an exemplary example of the circular economy at work.
ERA committed $8.8 million to the $17.6 million project through its $176 million Shovel Ready Challenge. In total, $126 million of Shovel Ready Challenge funding is sourced from Alberta’s industry-funded Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund. The remaining $50 million was supported by the federal Low Carbon Economy Leadership Fund (LCELF).
