Wastewater Treatment for a Sustainable Future
Explore our comprehensive wastewater treatment solutions that ensure environmental compliance and enhance water resource management.
Comprehensive Approach to Wastewater Treatment
Unique Wastewater Treatment Approach
Instead of designing water treatment facilities to destroy lost product and ingredients, we first examine the root cause in order to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to reduce loadings. We then design and implement solutions to economically treat the remainder utilizing the latest treatment technologies.
Customized Wastewater Treatment Strategies
Each wastewater challenge is unique, which is why we provide tailored assessments and solutions based on specific industry and regulatory requirements. Our expertise spans across multiple sectors, ensuring that your wastewater treatment methods are both effective and compliant with current environmental standards.
Sustainable Practices in Wastewater Management
Our prevention-first methodology focuses on reducing loading and maximizing contaminant removal while minimizing environmental impact.This approach helps businesses reduce their water footprint and contribute to global water conservation efforts.
Wastewater Treatment Success Story
Fruition Fruit & Fills, a subsidiary of Tim Hortons, operates a manufacturing plant in Oakville, Ontario. The facility manufactures and exports a wide range of products for the baking, confectionary, and dairy industries across the globe. Fruition was seeking a solution to meet their effluent discharge responsibilities.
A conventional approach would have addressed the environmental concern by constructing a large biological treatment plant. This would impose major economic and social burdens (loss of commodity ingredients) on the business — this was not a route they wanted to take.
Enviro-Stewards’ holistic assessment offered a preventative approach, with solutions that resulted in remarkable reductions and savings. After implementation, the facility was able to avoid the need for a treatment system altogether and:
- Reduce loading to sewer by 80%
- Reduce waste sent to landfill by 70%
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30%
This is equivalent to saving:
- Electricity to power 75 homes
- Natural gas to heat 59 homes
- Waste to fill 43 garbage trucks
- Water to fill 15 Olympic sized swimming pools
In addition, the conservation measures are saving the facility approximately $490,000/yr with a payback period of 5 months. The project also won a National Sustainability Award.
Enviro-Stewards is dedicated to the development of innovative solutions to achieve long-term resource and financial sustainability for businesses.
Full-spectrum assessments and solutions focused on prevention, resource conservation, and improving your bottom line.
Enviro-Stewards’ approach is unlike that of most consultants. Instead of designing water and air treatment facilities to destroy lost product and ingredients, we first examine the root cause in order to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to reduce loadings. We then design and implement solutions to economically treat the remainder.
Rather than focusing on ways to manage your wastewater needs by recommending expensive equipment to destroy lost resources and ingredients, we will develop solutions to reduce or eliminate the need for wastewater treatment in the first place.
Enviro-Stewards takes a holistic approach and conducts a full-spectrum assessment and implementation focused on prevention, resource conservation, and improving your bottom line.
Our preventative approach will result in reduced sewer loading during the manufacturing process and will ensure that more ingredients and finished goods leave the line as saleable product and not disposed of in wastewater.

Frequently Asked Questions About Waterwater Treatment
Wastewater treatment is the process of converting wastewater – water that’s no longer suitable for use – into water that can be discharged back into the environment or reused for various purposes.
The stages depend on the treatment technology, but generally the stages include preliminary treatment to remove large solids, primary treatment to settle suspendable solids, secondary treatment to degrade biological content of the sewage from human waste, soaps, and detergent, and tertiary treatment to improve quality before discharge or reuse.
Common methods include biological treatment, chemical treatment, and physical processes such as sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection.
It’s crucial for protecting water quality and preventing pollutants from entering ecosystems, thereby safeguarding public health and the environment.
By treating and reusing wastewater, we conserve water resources, recover useful materials, and reduce environmental pollution, supporting sustainable development goals.
