At Emterra we are committed to operate in a manner that promotes environmental and social sustainability across all of our divisions and locations.

While our business is faced with many important sustainability issues, we see: waste prevention, resource conservation, climate change and health, safety and wellness as our priorities. And, we advance environmental and social sustainability as a service provider, as an organization, as an employer and as a member of the community.
Wherever possible, we source and promote alternative goods, services, processes and partnerships that contribute to environmental and social sustainability.

  • We divert 7,800 tractor trailer loads of organics from the landfill every year.

  • Our CNG fleet and resource recovery efforts are equivalent to removing 94,535 cars from the road annually.

  • Our Material Recovery Facilities process and market 500,000 tonnes of recyclable annually.

  • It would take 11,598,459 trees to absorb the amount of CO2 Emterra would emit if we were not acting sustainably.
