ReWaRP involves a series of social scientific studies concerning the use of waste as a resource, including if and how to incorporate waste to energy (WTE) into more sustainable waste management practices. It is led by faculty and students from Western University and the University of Toronto - funded by Western University and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The purpose is to connect with waste management decision-makers, conduct research that is meaningful to them, and mobilize that research through this website, workshops, webinars, along with more traditional academic outets. The project has been underway since 2012, and received SSHRC funding in the Spring of 2013.
