Canadian companies envision new way to reduce cannabis environmental footprint

Purplefarm Genetics is going green.The company is working with WTTEC Systems Inc. to adopt new waste disposal technologies at its Canadian facility.

“Environmental stewardship in cannabis can no longer be optional, it is an ethical obligation.”Since the flower is the only part of the marijuana plant sold to consumers, the production of tonnes of cannabis yields even more tonnes of biological waste, including leaves, stems, stalks and rootballs . Some forecasts put Canada’s cannabis waste at about 6,000 tonnes annually.

But an unsustainable amount of this waste ends up in landfills, said WTTEC president Jacob Brown. “There is a clear need to develop better solutions,” Brown said.“We are proud to be implementing, in partnership with Purplefarm Genetics, the first cannabis waste disposal system in Canada that effectively and cleanly eliminates all organic and non-organic waste, which, in turn, diverts 100 per cent of all materials from landfills,” he added.
