2022 Winner: Recognition Of Regional Innovation - Medicine Hat
Winner: Roxanne Doerksen (TRAD Industries Ltd)
Initiative: Economic and Environmental Waste Recovery Through On-site Vermicomposting
TRAD Industries Ltd – Through a circular approach to organic waste utilization TRAD’s on-site vermicomposting modular system provides a financial and environmental advantage – turning contaminated waste into a biologically-rich soil amendment, in a fraction of the time. Using site-produced vermicompost reduces the dependence of synthetic fertilization, transportation costs (and associated GHG’s) and ground water contaminating leachates. Trad has worked with Medicine Hat College on programs and new ways to track, recover data, and promote waste stream diversion.
