Landfill diversion and ESG reporting
More contractors, utilities and infrastructure owners are being asked what happened to the material that left their jobsites. Sending hydrovac slurry to a recovery facility gives you a documented answer.
Diversion, water and emissions
1. Landfill diversion
Hydrovac slurry contains stone, sand and clay that can be separated and managed independently. Where reuse routes exist, recovering those materials reduces how much of each load ends up in landfill.
2. Water recovery
Water is the largest part of every load. We separate and treat it, then reuse it in our process and to refill outgoing hydrovac trucks, which reduces demand for fresh water.
3. Shorter hauls
A central Toronto location means shorter trips for most GTA jobs than driving to a rural receiving site. Less driving means less fuel burned and less crew time on the road.
What we can help you document
Our process can support customers who want to record meaningful information about:
- Material recovered from their hydrovac slurry
- Landfill diversion
- Water recovery and reuse
- Responsible material management under Ontario Regulation 406/19
- Circular economy initiatives and internal ESG reporting
What we won't claim
EcoVac doesn't make claims about a customer's sustainability performance. That's your story to tell, and we'll help you tell it accurately with information about what happened to the material you sent us.
We also hold ourselves to the same standard. You won't find diversion percentages or emissions figures on this site until we can back them with verified data.
Why the receiving facility matters
Hydrovac excavation doesn't end when the truck leaves the project. The receiving facility decides what happens to the material next.
A facility that treats every load as one mixed waste stream gives you nothing to report beyond the fact that it was received. A facility built around separation gives each part of the load its own route. See how dewatering and full recovery compare.
Common questions
Does EcoVac report on my company's sustainability performance?
No. We don't make claims about a customer's sustainability performance. We can help you document what happened to the material you sent us, which you can use in your own reporting.
Can EcoVac give me diversion figures for my loads?
Ask on the booking line about what's available for your loads.
Why don't you publish a diversion percentage?
Because we'll only publish figures we can back with verified data. When we have them, they'll be on this page.
