Catalyst for Employment

Laflèche Environmental currently has 21 full-time employees, including six summer students.

In addition, we contract out for our significant construction needs, providing further employment for firms and workers in Eastern Ontario.

We've formed partnerships with major national and international environmental companies,

allowing us to showcase Canadian research, technology and innovation on the world stage.

We are actively working with universities in Canada and the United States to develop and test practices and techniques that could further revolutionize the field of waste management and serve as a catalyst for the growth of Canada's biotechnology industry.

And we're here for the long haul.

We will soon begin harvesting methane from our BioReactor - a project that we estimate will yield enough power to run at least 1,000 homes for more than 50 years. Our plans call for our current property holdings to continue to serve Eastern Ontario for the next 200 - 300 years.

Laflèche Environmental also works in cooperation with a new business called Trensept Laflèche Inc. This new company is focused on recycling scrap tires and producing shredded rubber chips for civil engineering applications. Fully sanctioned by the Ministry of the Environment, Trensept Laflèche Inc. holds a Certificate of Approval allowing for the processing of 3,500,000 tires per year. This represents more than one quarter of all scrap tires generated in Ontario annually and makes us the largest processing facility in the province.

Trensept Laflèche Inc. represents Eastern Ontario's first legal, environmentally responsible tire recycling facility. Together with dealers, haulers, and municipalities we are striving to provide a cost-effective alternative to illegal dumping, stockpiling, and trans-border disposal.
