We undertake environmental and waste management projects across the full lifecycle of industrial and infrastructure operations.
Built For Real World Execution
CORE Environmental is an execution-focused environmental partner supporting industrial facilities, infrastructure projects, and remote operations across Canada. We work across the full lifecycle of industrial and infrastructure operations, including waste management, decommissioning, remediation, site operations, and ongoing environmental support.
CORE integrates directly into client teams, working within your business to plan and execute practical solutions that reflect operational realities, regulatory requirements, and broader objectives.
Our role is not to advise from the sidelines. We bring experienced people, practical systems, and hands-on project control to deliver work that functions in the field, aligns with how your operation actually runs, and reduces environmental risk, cost, and disruption.
Rethink Waste
Our approach is grounded in chemistry, physical properties, and material behaviour. By analyzing each waste stream at a fundamental level, we identify opportunities for treatment, recovery, repurposing, or reuse that reduce liability and, where possible, create value.
This philosophy shapes how we plan and execute environmental work, whether the outcome is disposal, treatment, or beneficial reuse.
Valorization
Resource Recovery
From precious metals to fuel, there is often value in the waste material our customers pay to dispose of. We will use our extensive industry knowledge to evaluate your stream and understand what can be recovered to generate a financial gain for your business.
Waste Repurposing
Any industrial raw material, waste, by-product or manufacturing co-product can be revalued by CORE. Examples: Specialty chemicals like polymers, surfactants, coagulants, acids and caustics, etc.
Beneficial Reuse
The intentional application of residual materials based on their retained chemical and physical properties, where those properties provide a demonstrable functional benefit in a secondary use. Our process of waste valorization can take many different forms, from mine closure reclamation to agriculture soil amendment that can fertilize plants and crops. Examples: Biosolids, Sulfur, Lime, Mine Tailings, etc.

Waste Processing and Treatment
Stabilization / Solidification / Tailings Management
Specializing in Stabilization / Solidification (S/S), CORE offers an effective on-site solution for treating diverse contaminated media such as soil, sediment, sludge, and tailings. CORE develops the chemistry and S/S blends to immobilize contaminants, effectively preventing the mobility of toxic substances. This proven method is highly effective for addressing waste streams containing high levels of contaminants, achieving reliable treatment right at the source.
Hazardous Industrial Waste Management
CORE provides comprehensive solutions spanning the full spectrum of Hazardous Industrial Waste Management. Our experience covers everything from initial waste minimization and valorization, reuse, and recovery, to specialized on site treatment of hazardous materials. Our treatment of hazardous materials using advanced techniques transforming the materials into an environmentally safe products. This process effectively eliminates risk while often creating a useful re-engineered material that reduces the need for off-site disposal.
Volume Reduction
Reducing waste volumes plays a crucial role in sustainable waste management by minimizing the environmental impact. Utilizing CORE’s volume reduction techniques can significantly lower your transport and disposal dependency, increasing your resource recovery. Our continued innovation and responsible implementation of volume reduction strategies will save you money and help you do your part in providing a cleaner and more sustainable future. Let us evaluate if the additional waste management effort will offset the traditional disposal cost.
Embedded Staff
CORE provides expert environmental staff, offering experienced and capable environmental technicians and scientists on a full-time or contract basis to support clients across production plants, northern operations, remote mines, refineries and petrochemical sites. These experts are available to fill roles related to operations and support, including water/wastewater equipment operation, various systems operation (i.e. incinerator, compactor, forklift), spill response, air monitoring, groundwater/soil monitoring, and waste management. Their service is designed to be a flexible, cost-effective solution for short-term projects, staff leave, planned events, or incidents, utilizing a rigorous selection process to ensure clients receive highly qualified personnel who seamlessly integrate into their existing teams.

Environmental Projects
CORE delivers an integrated approach to environmental projects, partnering closely with clients on detailed analysis, planning, and design concepts. This collaborative model fosters a superior level of creative problem-solving that provides invaluable benefits. Recognizing that remediation and waste management costs can escalate rapidly due to weak planning or undefined goals, we carefully weigh the cost and benefit of every action. Leveraging our deep regulatory knowledge, we select optimal technologies to achieve program objectives, secure necessary approvals, and significantly minimize overall client costs. We employ practical, insightful methodologies to ensure every project issue is accurately assessed and addressed with the proper, sequential steps.
Soil and Groundwater Remediation
CORE undertakes soil and groundwater remediation projects from remedial design through field execution. We work with a clear understanding that contaminant behaviour, site conditions, and project constraints vary significantly, and remediation systems must be designed to suit the material, geology, and hydrogeology involved.
Our work includes the design and implementation of environmental protection and containment systems such as permeable reactive barriers, slurry walls, cutoff walls, and collection and interception trenches to control plume migration and protect surrounding receptors. Where removal is required, we plan and execute soil excavation and management programs, including both ex situ treatment and off-site disposition where appropriate.
Treatment approaches are selected based on contaminant chemistry and physical properties, and may include chemical, biological, and physical remediation methods delivered either in situ or ex situ. CORE develops and executes practical remediation systems that achieve clean-up objectives efficiently while minimizing unnecessary disturbance, cost, and risk.
Decommissioning Services
CORE provides a turnkey solution for Facility Closure, Decommissioning, Deconstruction, and Demolition, consolidating the lifecycle of site removal into an efficient process. Our integrated service begins with the safe decommissioning and decontamination of industrial, commercial, and governmental assets, including waste treatment/removal and hazardous material abatement (to ensure regulatory compliance). We then execute selective deconstruction (methodical dismantling for asset recovery and material reuse) and/or full-scale demolition (total structural removal), prioritizing resource conservation, maximum recycling, and minimal environmental impact. This unified approach delivers seamless project management, optimized safety, and a clear path to returning the site to a “redevelopment-ready” state.
In-Situ Containment
In-situ containment provides a practical, reliable approach for managing impacted soils and materials directly at their source, reducing the need for large excavation work, transport, and off-site disposal. CORE applies next gen engineered mineral stabilization technology to immobilize contaminants, strengthen material integrity, and minimize long-term environmental risk. This method is well suited for remote or logistically challenging sites, offering a safer and cost-effective alternative to traditional removal. Through science-backed design and field-ready implementation, CORE delivers in-situ containment solutions that support regulatory compliance and enhance long-term site performance.
