Rebuts Solides Canadiens

Rebuts Solides Canadiens, a Montreal, Quebec-based waste disposal company, along with certain other related companies, obtained protection under the CCAA on February 3, attributing its liquidity issues primarily to the decline in the recyclable materials industry. In particular, as a result of China's new recycling ban, the value of recycled materials has dropped dramatically in recent years. The price per ton of mixed paper fell from $121 in mid-2017 to $34 in November 2019. The Quebec government has authorized a $7.0 million loan to the company. The Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, and Fight Against Climate Change will provide $5.0 million, while RECYC-QUÉBEC will provide the remainder of the loan. PwC was appointed monitor. Fasken is counsel to the company.
