initiated a vermicomposting program at their
manufacturing facility in Brampton, ON. Read on to see

to their list of
sustainability initiatives
Here are some insights into a very unusual transformer manufacturer who has
within their Vision a passion to become the ‘Greenest company

Vermicomposting, is an aerobic process that uses the natural activity of red worms
known as Red Wigglers to break down and compost organic material such as food
scraps, biodegradable cutlery and paper. Odourless when operating effectively
– the worms eat the decomposing matter, therefore eating away any nauseous odours
and leaving a fresh earthy smell.
