Resource Innovation Campus

As innovators identify new ways to transform waste into resources, they can utilize feedstock from the transfer station for new products which will divert more volume away from the landfill and into the City's circular economy.

As innovators identify new ways to transform waste into resources, they can utilize feedstock from the MRF for research and development testing, new product development and cultivating local end markets.

The 27th Avenue Compost Facility sits within the RIC.​ In its initial phase, the compost facility has the capability to process up to 55,000 tons of compost per year.  The facility features a state-of-the art Turned Aerated Pile (TAP) composting system that makes large amounts of compost in nearly half the time as traditional composting methods.

Property at and around the RIC will be used to develop a resource cluster focusing on a circular economy and by-product synergies. Land leases will be made available for innovators and manufacturers with market-ready technologies and manufacturing processes that use waste to create new products. A competitive process will determine how the land wil be developed.

The City is exploring opportunities to house a business incubator for start-up/emerging technologies and manufacturing processes. Conceptually, the business incubator will provide office, workshop, support services, technical services and possible funding resources to innovators.
