STRATZER / Business strategies / Responsible Rail Procurement
Environmental analysis of products distributed on the Quebec City-Windsor rail line
VIA Rail called upon Stratzer for an environmental analysis of the products distributed in its trains and a diagnosis of waste management practices. Thus, Stratzer listed, quantified and described nearly 160 items, taking into account the life cycle in order to favor source reduction, recyclability and proximity. Alternatives were analyzed for some products in order to anticipate environmental impacts (e.g.: single servings and food waste, use of bioplastics, etc.). An executive presentation helped to guide decision-makers in the choice of responsible procurement criteria.
