The increased diversion opportunities will force the residential sector to divert their waste towards the transfer station. The transfer stations would have the opportunity to transfer them to the restores which will increase the availability of materials at retail stores which are in demand in the residential sector and simultaneously increase the recycling rate. The demand of used materials at restores by the residential sector is already high which will eventually help to create a self-sustaining market. Secondly, the building code in Canada is upgraded every five years. The research in waste management and policy measures get upgraded at much higher frequency. The timeline of making any amendments to the building code is very long. A minimum of 2 years is needed to introduce any new thing into the code. There is different patchwork of diverse building requirements in different communities which make it challenging for the construction sector to manage the alterations. These complications can be resolved by making a new Building Act which will establish more consistent building code amendment requirements throughout the province and streamlining the building code making process. In this the local governments have to give up their by-law which go beyond the provincial building codes. The main theme should be to increase the flexibility with the present day needs for CRD waste management. It will enhance the province’s ability to review the innovative ideas and turn them into standards. The present system works on extensive consultation with the industry and stakeholder. Therefore, 2-4 years of phase-out period is required to allow local governments to adapt to the new provisions. An increase in the price of materials will help to counter-balance the ratio of money spent on labor and eventually influence the waste management and disposal decisions made by the contractors. The price of raw materials can be increased by putting the levy on them. It will be used to incentivize the end of life management and disposal costs. According to the rule of thumb in civil engineering, the average life of a building is 40-50 years. It makes implementing the principle of extended producer responsibility in conventional ways
