In New Brunswick, a proposed recycling plant in Miramichi by Atlantic Circular Recycling & Environmental Solutions Inc. seeks to address the lack of local recycling options for large waste items, particularly mattresses. Founding director Sébastien Tinor-Roy identified the need for local processing solutions as many items are currently landfilled or shipped out of province. The project aims to convert a former plywood manufacturing facility into an 80,000-square-foot plant capable of processing 30,000 tonnes of waste annually, which would represent nearly 6% of the province's total waste. This initiative is expected to create over 30 jobs and support New Brunswick's goal of reducing landfill waste by 40,000 tonnes each year. The plant's operations would allow for the recycling of approximately 95% of mattresses, with materials like foam and textiles being repurposed. While the project awaits provincial approval for its environmental impact assessment, discussions with regional waste commissions have highlighted the need for a centralized drop-off location for waste. Initial investment estimates range between $6 million and $10 million, with funding options still being explored.
