SANEXEN Wins the Prestigious Innovation and Environmental Protection Award at the Envirolys Gala Français
TORONTO, Nov. 16, 2021 /CNW/ - During the Annual Gala of the Conseil des entreprises en technologies environnementales du Québec ("CETEQ"), which was held in Montréal on November 15, SANEXEN Environmental Services Inc. ("SANEXEN"), a subsidiary of LOGISTEC Corporation, was awarded the prestigious Innovation and Environmental Protection Award from the Envirolys Gala. The team is once again recognized for its ingenuity and know-how by having demonstrated the possibility of recycling residual materials issued from construction and demolition ("C&D") plants and fully contributing to the circular economy.
"We are passionate about innovation, and we are determined to push the boundaries every time we launch a new service or environmental technology," said Madeleine Paquin, President and CEO of LOGISTEC Corporation.
SANEXEN opened the first recovery plant dedicated to C&D fines in North America. The team of experts transforms C&D debris into valuable by-products such as compost, aggregates and wood. This plant offers large-scale processing of up to 150,000 metric tonnes per year. C&D fines are a large fraction of the material managed at C&D sorting facilities, with some facilities generating up to 25% of their inbound volume in C&D fines. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of these C&D debris will now be fully recycled and reused instead of ending up in landfills.
"This patent-pending technology is the culmination of five years of research and development work by SANEXEN's innovation team, with the support of RECYC-Québec and the Ministère de l'Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques," explained Martin Bureau, Vice-President, Innovation.
"The technology and the know-how behind this innovation offer great future prospects for SANEXEN in this business sector . We are also actively working on the next generation of a C&D fines-recovery process, turning debris into high-grade construction products, which will be reintegrated into future construction projects," concluded Mathieu Germain, Director of Strategic Development.
