Waste Management

Maximizing use of materials & minimizing waste.

We are committed to reducing waste throughout Canfor’s operations by identifying beneficial uses of materials.

Our approach.

Reducing waste in all our operations is a priority at Canfor. Our Environmental Management System is aligned with the ISO 14001 standard and provides a framework to reduce waste and manage our short- and long-term environmental impacts related to waste.

Our Waste Management Program includes disposal procedures for both hazardous and non-hazardous materials that follow legal requirements. Our approach to waste management is site-specific: we collect and monitor waste-related data, have monitoring processes for external waste management and removal vendors, and audit waste manifests during internal compliance assessments.
