The goal of the project is to understand correlation between the amount of substances released and processed (Disposed, recycled, chemically treated) from different provinces in Canada and environmental industries investments. The data used in the project is retrieved from Statistics Canada and Government of Canada and collected every two years (2006-2016) (will be discussed further below). This further expands to the prediction of different type of substances released and processed based on industries investment for the next 3 years.
