Food waste might not have to travel far from your curbside green bin.
CTV News London has learned that city hall’s public tender seeking a company to process separated household organic waste received just a single bid.
Convertus operates south of Highway 401 in London, Ont. in the same location as the former organic waste processing facility called Orgaworld.
“The procurement process, whether it’s one bid or ten bids, carries on,” explained Jay Stanford, the city’s director of climate change, environment, and solid waste. “The due diligence and the review of the proposal must occur and that’ll be reported out to the Civic Works Committee in mid-July.”
With a timeline to launch a green bin program this year, receiving only a single bid potentially limits city council’s options.
According to its website, Convertus was created in 2019 by the merger of Renewi Canada and Waste Treatment Technologies North America to be a part of the circular economy.
