Integrated Recovery Campus
Toronto — Ontario Recovery Campus
180 Kipling Industrial Court, Etobicoke, ON M8Z 5G1
Toronto sits at the heart of Ontario's automotive belt, which runs from Windsor to Oshawa and is being retooled for EV and battery production. The recovery campus opened in Etobicoke in 2021 to process Canadian material close to where it is generated, rather than sending it across the border for grading and shredding.
What each facility accepts
| Facility | Type | Accepts |
|---|---|---|
| Toronto, Ontario | Integrated Recovery Campus | Whole packs, modules, production scrap |
