Sylvain is a planning advisor in the Environment Department of the City of Montreal. In order for Montreal to move towards zero waste by 2030, he works on issues such as reducing single-use plastics, stopping food waste and non-food waste, reducing out-of-home waste and improving the quality of recyclable materials. Sylvain is committed to making Montreal more circular.
With a master’s degree in environment from the University of Sherbrooke (Ca, QC) and a master’s degree in engineering and management of the environment and sustainable development at the University of Technology of Troyes (Fr), Sylvain has developed a broad expertise that combines circularity and sustainability. He specializes in dematerialization strategies of economic activities that allow companies and territories to benefit from a decoupling between financial flows and physical flows. In 2019, he published a master’s essay on strategic environmental issues and the choice of materials in ecodesign for the case of the textile industry, under the supervision of Ms.Tatiana Reyes.
With a passion for resource management, use of materials and reduction of environmental impacts, he has worked in France as well as in Canada in advising and supporting municipalities and companies – from the aeronautical sector to food distribution – in their transition to eco-responsibility or in their eco-design approaches.
