the challenge
McCormick Canada leads with a commitment to people, communities and the planet we share. With values rooted in sustainability, extending these principles into waste management processes made sense, but they faced the challenge of being unable to recycle materials being sent to a landfill.
With rising waste and recycling costs, McCormick Canada needed a more cost-effective waste management solution that would align with their green corporate social responsibility.

Next, leveraging experience and unmatched buying power, Waste Solutions Canada worked to optimize rates by implementing strategies to reduce costs and ensure long-term cost controls.
