SUSTAINABILITY

The motivation behind less

In Canada, approximately 58% of food is wasted annually, amounting to over 35 million tons each year, with a 5.3% annual increase. Most of this waste ends up in landfills, generating 56.5 million tons of methane, equivalent to 1.5 billion tons of CO2e, along with additional emissions from garbage trucks transporting the waste. This alarming situation drives us to roll up our sleeves and develop innovative solutions through a triple bottom line approach, ensuring that our strategies account for people, the planet, and profits.

Reducing transport emissions through container right-sizing and optimized pickup frequencies.

Facilitating recycling of all materials by depackaging organic waste.

Liquid alcohol waste disposal and aluminum can recycling and destruction

Promoting maximum reclamation and recycling of materials by segregating paper, plastic, glass, and metal packaging.

Conserving water by repurposing liquid waste to use in place of fresh water to support processing techniques.

IDC totes for liquid waste collection and disposal

Minimizing the volume of waste materials through baling, shredding, and densifying to support more efficient transport.

Reducing the need for inorganic fertilizers by supplying local farmers with nutrient-rich soil amendment.

Supplying a network of anaerobic digestion facilities with organic waste as feedstock to be converted into energy.

In 2015, during the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the United Nations Member States provided a blueprint for “peace and prosperity for people and planet, now and into the future.” (United Nations, 2022) The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a call to action for all countries to work toward ending poverty, improving health and education, reducing inequality, and spurring economic growth while fighting climate change and preserving our oceans and forest ecosystems.*

At Minus, we actively place eight of these Goals at the core of our services.
