At a remote industrial facility in Alberta, food waste was being hauled away while sawdust was being purchased for an operational process.
Eco-Growth helped close that loop.
Beginning in 2018, Eco-Growth worked with the onsite operations team to process food waste and other organic material using an Eco-Growth Organic Reactor.
By 2020, the reported results included:
• 235,197 kg of food waste diverted from landfill
• A 70–80% reduction in solid food waste
• Approximately $4,957 in monthly savings
• 385 kg of raw waste converted into 77 kg of biomass every 24 hours
The dried biomass was then reused onsite as an alternative to sawdust.
Less waste hauled. Fewer landfill trips. Lower costs. A discarded material turned into something useful.
The project earned Eco-Growth a 2020 Alberta Emerald Award and remains a powerful example of what practical circular innovation can achieve.
We are proud to celebrate the teams who helped turn this idea into measurable results.
