Environmental Performance
A significant part of Plasco’s philosophy is a commitment to using the best technology to minimize our facilities’ environmental footprint and to have an environmental performance that far exceeds regulatory standards.
Plasco offers the following environmental benefits to Red Deer and its neighbouring communities:
- Improves local air quality and reduces the community’s carbon footprint
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the displacement of fossil fuel or natural gas power generation and avoided methane from landfill waste
- Preserves natural resources for future generations
The Plasco Guarantee
If we fail to meet our committed environmental performance we will:
- Remove the plant at no cost and return the land to its original state
- End the supply agreement
To view environmental and performance data from our commercial-scale demonstration facility in Ottawa, Ontario, please visit our zerowasteottawa website.
