VANCOUVER, March 30, 2015 /CNW/ - Canadian Mining
Company Inc. (the "Company") (TSX.V:CNG). Cities and
municipalities across Canada are
now initiating the separation of all compostable materials from
trash collection. The Compost Council of Canada states; "organics residuals are the
largest component of the waste stream." Diverting organic
waste from the municipal waste system benefits the sustainability
of the community by extending the life of landfills and reducing
the potential for leachate and the production of methane. One
of the most significant issues facing composting facilities is the
control of odor emissions.
If you live near or have driven by a composting facility, you'll
appreciate the challenge municipalities have with controlling the
odor emitted from composting. Canadian Mining contributed its
natural micronized zeolite for a large scale composting study with
the Region of Peel in Ontario to
address these odor emission issues. The successful results were
presented at the National Composting Convention in Halifax on September
24, 2014. The 4 week study determined the best results
were achieved with an application of 3% micronized zeolite to
volume of compost. The results were a remarkable reduction of
85% of odor emissions.
Canadian Mining will continue to develop this process with the
Region of Peel and is engaged with other municipalities across
Canada to assist in addressing
odor emission issues at their composting facilities.
"Zeolite is a natural non-metallic volcanic mineral that
exhibits diverse applicable properties for use in products and
technologies that contribute to 'green' environmental
protection."
