A Circular Economy for Waste
At Sustane, we’re on a mission to improve waste circularity, materially reduce GHG emissions, and create a global impact.
Clean technology solutions like ours address environmental problems such as single-use and end-of-life plastic waste. In addition, they reduce climate change impacts and build a sustainable economy for future generations.
The 5 R’s…and Sustane
Did you know that Canadians throw away over 3.5 million tonnes of plastic waste every year, and that we recycle only 9%? As a result, the rest goes to landfills or the environment, threatening the health of wildlife, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
While certain types of plastics have biodegradable alternatives, single-use plastics play a critical role in health care and food safety. However, they remain difficult to replace in many essential uses.
Sustane focuses on improving waste circularity by repurposing single-use and end-of-life plastics into alternative fuels that support the production of new plastics. In addition, these alternative fuels replace fossil fuels, creating more sustainable products.
Fewer Landfills, Fewer Emissions
We can reduce the number of new landfills by cutting the amount and type of waste we send to them. As a result, we prevent toxic methane emissions and leachate runoff.
Sustane’s innovative approach to waste management is complementary to traditional municipal waste management programs, and helps municipalities reach their climate goals. Through the prevention of 3 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions for every tonne of garbage we process, we reduce a community’s overall carbon footprint by 10 per cent.

How does your process work?
Our proprietary mechanized process uses steam to recycle 90 per cent of household waste, transforming it into alternative fuels for new plastics and organic fertilizer.
What type of materials can you recycle?
We process all types of household waste, as well as single-use and end-of-life plastics.
Where do you get your waste?
We partner with businesses and the local municipalities that pay a tipping fee to have their waste processed, at a comparable cost to landfilling but with added benefits and fewer emissions.
What products do you produce?
What size of community is your ideal target?
Our scalable approach means we are able to meet the needs of communities with population bases of 150,000 or greater.
