Groupe
Tiru
Background
GROUPE TIRU has been a major player in
the recycling industry since 1995. Using European expertise,
it has developed and adapted its industrial sorting activities
to meet the ever-increasing volume of recyclable waste generated
by the city of Montreal and its surroundings.
Since the year 2000, the highly experienced TIRU team has modernised
the Montreal Sorting Center. It now provides the largest processing
capacity in Quebec, and is one of the three most important in
Canada.
Main Activities
The collection, sorting and marketing of recyclable waste are
GROUPE TIRU'S main activities. A specially-adapted fleet of
trucks and three sorting centers in the Montreal area ensure
high quality service for residential communities and commercial
enterprises alike.
Demonstrated here is the processing of residential and commercial
recyclable waste using state-of-the-art equipment in a modern
facility.
The sorting center presented here is our largest capacity facility.
It currently processes an amazing 100 000 tons/year and has
the ability to absorb a great deal more.
Featured technology
GROUPE TIRU specializes in "results-oriented"
technology.
The primary objective is for each facility to operate to maximum
productivity according to a wide variety of parameters (quality
of recyclable waste, weather, willingness of citizens to participate,
personnel qualifications, etc.)
Our second objective is to sort the recyclable waste with constant
attention to available markets in order to maximize recuperation.
The third objective is to ship recyclable materials to recycling
plants with no intermediate storage. Most recyclable waste collected
in the day is processed overnight and shipped to the recycling
plant the following day, saving time, energy and money.
Finally, GROUPE TIRU is constantly locating new markets and
expanding usage of recyclable materials.
