CONPOREC OBTAINS CERTIFICATION FOR ITS COMPOST PRODUCED FROM RESIDENTIAL MIXED SOLID WASTE
Conporec Inc. has obtained the first certification in Canada for a compost produced from residential mixed waste. Last July 4, 2007, after a rigorous and standardized process that lasted several months, the Bureau de normalisation du Quebec (BNQ) issued to Conporec a certificate of compliance (No. 936) for the compost produced at its sorting-composting facility in Sorel-Tracy. This compost therefore achieves some of the most stringent agronomic and environmental quality criteria and standards in the world. This major achievement is a first in Quebec as well as in Canada for compost made from residential mixed solid waste, considering that the other certified compost products are made from other type of organic waste (SSO).
"The BNQ certification for our compost is the result of our innovative technology developed through 10 years of sustained research and development efforts. This recognition clearly demonstrates the efficiency of the sorting-composting process, and the high quality of the end product. It provides assurance to municipalities and citizens that they can achieve the highest waste recovery rate at competitive price, while being able to use a certified and high-quality product," declared Jean Beaudoin, Conporec's chairman of the board and chief executive officer. With its sorting-composting facility in Sorel-Tracy, and based on this BNQ certification, Conporec can guarantee the high quality of the compost produced from a two-stream collection system, a system that greatly simplifies the tasks both for citizens and municipalities. Moreover, the Conporec solution allows the MRC du Bas-Richelieu to claim the highest waste recovery rate in Quebec with more than 75 per cent, which surpasses any other region of Quebec or any other technology.
