What could be more natural than growing cannabis? Unfortunately, even with artisanal processes like those used by Origine Nature, cannabis plants generate waste. To be part of the solution, we\u2019ve decided to get our hands dirty and develop better practices to improve the industry\u2019s sustainability. Here\u2019s how far we\u2019ve come.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When meeting with managers of organizations in Quebec, Jean-Michel Archambault-Cyr invites them to take a look at their garbage cans. An unusual way to break the ice? Actually, for the project manager at Synergie \u00e9conomique Laurentides and his team, a company\u2019s waste holds great value. \u201cWaste is often the gateway to the implementation of broader circular economy initiatives,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n

By creating symbiotic relationships between various institutions, businesses and communities, Synergie \u00e9conomique Laurentides contributes to establishing a circular and local economy. In simpler terms, when they exchange residual materials, water, energy and resources (material, human or technical), businesses improve their environmental performance while achieving greater competitiveness. <\/p>\n

Working together for the environment<\/strong>
\nIn 2021, Origine Nature accepted Synergie \u00e9conomique Laurentides\u2019 invitation to join one of the organization\u2019s projects. Like other players in the industry, Origine Nature opened its doors to the organization to find innovative solutions for the management of residual waste from cannabis cultivation.<\/p>\n

Why join forces with other businesses from the industry in this experience? According to Jean-Michel Archambault-Cyr, businesses from the same sector have a lot to gain from partnering in the search for promising solutions by not only sharing knowledge but also the burden of R & D efforts. \u201cWhile the reality of production sometimes differs from one business to the other, they tend to face similar issues.\u201d <\/p>\n

Many avenues for plant residue management<\/strong>
\nThe strict regulation was a major challenge for the project\u2019s teams. After all, a business cannot simply dispose of cannabis residues as it pleases. \u201cThis industry is quite young and has not yet reached full maturity, which means everything is evolving rapidly.\u201d Nevertheless, auditing the participating cannabis producers\u2019 processes has helped identify an impressive number of potential solutions. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have identified about thirty potential solutions for cannabis plants and about fifteen for organic substrates,\u201d says the project\u2019s manager. That is to say that businesses and institutions would have commercial interests in reusing residues from cannabis cultivation\u2014stems, leaves or substrates\u2014to give them a second life and turn this waste into raw materials that meet their own needs.<\/p>\n

This type of business matching would reduce the extraction of raw materials by businesses that reuse and help the cannabis industry avoid further increasing the amount of waste in landfills. <\/p>\n

A win-win situation<\/strong>
\nWe have reached the very limits of a linear economic model where resources are extracted, consumed and thrown away, says Jean-Michel Archambault-Cyr. \u201cA circular economy reduces the extraction of raw materials, our environmental footprint, greenhouse gas emissions and stimulates economic activity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Origine Nature and the other participating cannabis producers have now entered a crucial stage in this adventure: They must select, among the identified potential solutions, the most promising avenues and study their feasibility in the field.
