What We Offer
WASTE AUDITING
We’ll sort, weigh, and quantify the amount of waste that leaves your facility, making it easy to fulfill your 3Rs regulation requirements. Whether you’re just launching your waste program or considering a zero-waste-to-landfill goal, EAG can assist you at any point with your waste projects.
STEWARDSHIP
Through physical product assessments and analysis of unit sales, we determine how much packaging you release into each province. Then, we complete stewardship submissions on your behalf, so you can focus on other projects.
AWARD APPLICATIONS
We’ll add credibility and visibility to your environmental programs by finding award opportunities to recognize your accomplishments. We’ll research potential awards to find the right one for your company, work with you to understand your programs, and then complete award applications, nominations, and questionnaires on your behalf.
