Creating Products from Waste –Community Based Recycling
The Rossland Refactory is a project of the
Kootenay Outdoor and Environmental Learning Society whose mission is “to provide for a more environmentally sustainable future for residents of Rossland and the surrounding area by influencing the habits, policies and actions of citizens, government and industry through education and action.”
A Facility Built by the Community for the Community
The Rossland Refactory is meant to be a focal point for the community. Its main purpose will be to make products that are sold locally from community waste. This will reduce the carbon footprint of the community through reduced transportation of waste and recycled products.
