The genesis of Eco Waste Solutions (EWS) wasn’t a garage, a ‘business incubator’, or a barn. It came from the most likely of sources: the fire and molten metal of Canada’s Steeltown: Hamilton, Ontario. With expertise in combustion process and metallurgy, the two founders of Eco Waste Solutions set out to address the global need for better, more environmentally-responsible waste solutions.

In the past crude systems for burning waste were prevalent and accepted. In response, Eco Waste Solutions developed an innovative new process to thermally treat waste while meeting stringent environmental regulations and waste-reduction targets. The company was awarded a patent for the unique Eco Waste process that thermally treated waste while avoiding the production of dioxins and furans.

Commercial success was almost immediate with a sale to the Canadian Department of National Defense for a remote Arctic base. This was quickly followed by projects for a community in Alaska and medical waste treatment in the Caribbean. Since then, EWS has won multi-million dollar contracts with organizations such as Barrick, DeBeers, Vale, NATO, the Canadian Department of Defense and the US Air Force.
