Sustainable Development

Even before the term “sustainbale development” was coined, Biogénie knew we would be witness to an increasing demand for sustainable solutions to environmental management. 25 years later, our novel ideas have matured into state-of-the-art technological processes to recover and reuse organic waste materials and to treat contaminated soils.

Our corporation takes pride in:

• Treating waste materials locally to reduce transportation of such materials and reduce greenhouse gas;
• Adapt  our residual waste treatment processes to each situation, depending on the physical, geographic and economic concerns of each one of our clients;
• Reducing the social and environmental impact of our operations and reducing nuisances;
• Adhering to the 4R principles: reducing waste materials at the source, reusing residual waste, recycling and recovering organic waste and capturing useful waste and turning it into renewable energy;
• Using landfill waste disposal  and incineration as a measure of last resort, when all other options have been exhausted;
• Meeting and exceeding the recovery objectives set out in our municipal administrations’ Residual Waste Management Programs (RWMP);
• Giving the highest priority to simple and ecological residual waste treatment processes over the use of more complex technologies available due to advantageous market conditions and the competitively low cost of landfill disposal;
• Implementing a concerted and integrated residual waste management strategy;
• To promote the local economy through the employment of local manpower and suppliers;
• To ensure future generations enjoy a better quality environment.
