Environmental Indemnification

Environmental legislation is becoming more stringent.

The direction of this legislation is to focus responsibility for waste management upon landfill operators and generators.

This change in focus has created a need for both landfill operators and generators to develop long-term environmental risk management plans that include remediation of contaminated sites.

Implementation, coordination, and administration of these plans, plus the cost involved in remediation are very expensive.

This in turn has created the desire for insurance against future environmental liability. Locating such insurance is either impossible or next too impossible and if achievable, will be very expensive.

When you recycle your products, you will receive an indemnification (reclamation) certificate. This certificate releases you from the responsibilities associated with long term environmental liabilities.

In tern, this saves the landfill operators and generator’ operating costs both today and tomorrow,

Businesses are required to register with the Ministry of the Environment and have these waste properly handled and disposed of in accordance with regulations.

Landfill Maximization

Landfill locations are becoming increasingly more difficult to site.

Operating, as well as, post closure legislation is becoming more stringent.

Existing landfills are currently being filled with goods and products that can be recycled.

With the elimination of these goods and products, the landfill operator maximizes landfill longevity.

This, in turn, defers the need to locate a new suitable location.  Which again results in operating savings tomorrow.

Sustainablilty

Community sustainability is desirable.

The environment, society and economy are all part of  a mutually supporting system

Economic prosperity, social equity and environmental values are interdependent.

Removing or altering even one can have serious complications for the entire system.

Sustainable communities depend on economic prosperity, social equity and environmental values.

The Benefits Outweigh the Costs

Eliminating or reducing future environmental risk through recycling results in cost savings both today and tomorrow.

Maximizing landfill longevity through waste reduction results in cost savings tomorrow.

Ensuring community sustainability is very desirable.
