Minus Global Holdings acquires Future Waste

Minus Global Holdings Inc. has acquired Future Waste, a food and liquid waste management company based in Drumbo, Ontario.

This acquisition follows the previous purchase by Minus of Planet Earth Recycling last year. Toronto-based Minus says in a news release these companies are uniting to become what it calls one of the largest organic recyclers in southern Ontario, enhancing service standards, coverage, offerings and processing capacity to customers. Future Waste and Planet Earth Recycling, alongside Minus Global Holdings’ on-site food waste solutions provider ORCA Digesters, are devoted to offering comprehensive, efficient and responsible food and liquid waste management solutions to fit commercial customers across Canada and worldwide.

For the past 21 years, Future Waste has provided organic waste and recycling solutions with an emphasis on sustainability, cost-effectiveness and tailored solutions for clients with various waste products and production practices. In addition to food waste services, Future Waste offers bulk liquid waste pumping, collection and disposal services and is licensed to handle off-spec alcohol. Minus says Future Waste’s portfolio contains some of North America’s largest food and beverage producers and retailers. Furthermore, Future Waste comes with a network of service partners that enables it to offer services across Canada.

Minus and its portfolio of companies recognize the urgent need for responsible, personalized solutions in a world where 1.3 billion tons of food waste are generated per year, with 40 percent originating from the commercial sector. Minus’ companies collaborate with customers to find solutions that align with their organization and waste type.

Minus specializes in the recovery and repurposing of organic waste using techniques, including anaerobic digestion, aerobic digestion, composting, animal feed production and liquid and packaged waste recycling. Minus continues to seek innovative organic waste management techniques, forge service partnerships, and make acquisitions that enable it to expand and better serve communities worldwide.
