Commercial Waste

Commercial Waste Disposal for Industrial, Commercial & Institutional Partners

A proven alternative to landfills. Designed for performance, sustainability, and real-world results.

At Emerald, we assist industrial, commercial, and institutional (IC&I) organizations in transforming their residual non-hazardous commercial waste into renewable energy. By employing a regulated and scientifically validated thermal treatment process, we recover energy in the form of steam and electricity, thereby supporting Ontario’s energy grid and minimizing landfill use across the province.

Our facility accepts solid, non-hazardous waste from industrial, commercial, and institutional (IC&I) sources, as well as municipal solid waste (MSW) sources. With a capacity to generate up to 10 megawatts (MW) of electricity, Emerald Energy from Waste can provide enough power to serve approximately 6,000 households in the Greater Toronto Area while offering businesses and institutions a practical and compliant solution for managing waste more sustainably.

Emerald Energy from Waste works closely with U-Pak Disposals to provide all IC&I organizations with waste management services.

Supporting A Circular Industry

For more than a decade, Emerald Energy from Waste has served as the exclusive steam supplier to a nearby paper mill. Our dependable, low-emission steam supports their operations while helping to reduce their reliance on fossil fuel-based energy. 

This long-standing partnership demonstrates how industrial productivity and environmental responsibility can be mutually beneficial. By recovering energy from waste and reinvesting it in the local industry, we support a circular economy that keeps material and energy in use for longer.
