Loblaws Inc. a subsidiary of Loblaw Companies Limited, that will see food residuals from certain Loblaw stores converted into biogas renewable energy through ORMI's From Leftovers to Lights program. The From Leftovers to Lights campaign is a promotional program that allows ORMI's customers to gain recognition for their organic residual diversion and green-energy contributions.
"At Loblaw, we are committed to finding new and innovative ways to divert waste from landfills," said Mark Schembri, Vice President, Store Maintenance, Loblaw Companies Limited. "We are looking forward to continuing to work with ORMI as we improve our environmental footprint."
"Loblaw was a pioneer in processing organic residuals and first partnered with ORMI over ten years ago by developing and installing ORRS grinding mills at many of its Ontario stores," said Charles Buehler, CEO of ORMI. "They are continuing this pioneering approach by converting their food and grease interceptor residuals into renewable biogas energy through ORMI's From Leftovers to Lights campaign. We are very pleased to be strengthening our relationship with Loblaw through this exclusive contract."
Under the agreement Loblaw will have exclusive rights to divert its food residuals to ORMI's Anaerobic Digesters (ADs) as long as Loblaw can fill ORMI's AD capacity. ORMI will have the exclusive right to provide all grease
interceptor pump-out services to all Loblaw stores in Ontario and British Columbia.
ORMI's From Leftovers to Lights program uses ORMI's patented Organic Resource Recovery System (ORRS) to liquefy food residuals into a slurry. The organic slurry is then collected by the Company's vacuum trucks along with the grease interceptor residuals to be processed into AD feedstock at the Company's transfer stations and delivered to ADs under the Company's exclusive long-term AD Feedstock Supply Agreements.
