For Immediate Release
February 2, 2024
econext wants to work with businesses in Newfoundland and Labrador to help them address their waste management challenges.
“Sometimes there is value to be found in the things that we are sending right to the landfill,” said Kieran Hanley, econext‘s CEO. “When a business is able to do something else with its waste streams – a number of positive things can happen.”
“From the commercial perspective, a business can cut costs, create new opportunities for local entrepeneurs, or even generate new revenue streams,” said Hanley, noting that addressing environmental impacts is good for business in a world where consumers are increasingly becoming concerned with them.
“In the bigger picture, waste diverted from landfills is good for the environment and good for the taxpayer because the life of landfills can be extended,” said Hanley.
Hanley said that econext is interested in helping businesses in the province explore their options. “It doesn’t hurt to see what might be possible; our team is standing by to help you explore the options.”
