-- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Micron Waste Technologies Inc.
(“Micron” or the “Company”)
(CSE: MWM, OTC: MICWF, Frankfurt: 7FM2) a
developer of proprietary digester solutions for the treatment of
food and organic waste, announces it is taking steps to advance its
proprietary technology to treat the organic waste from medical
cannabis cultivation on-site and in an environmentally friendly and
cost-efficient manner.
Micron will develop an organic waste bioprocessing system
targeted specifically towards handling medical cannabis
organic waste materials, including leaves, twigs and stalk. The
Company is testing a new type of nanocrystal that would be used in
its proprietary 4 cycle filtration process. The nanocrystals are
expected to further breakdown medical cannabis organic waste so
that it can be turned into “gray water” and then later into clean
water.
Micron’s Medical Cannabis Organic Waste Digester will be developed
to handle the following waste from cultivation sites:
- Waste from solid plant material, whether a usable plant trim or
flower or unusable plant material, such as stalks, roots, or
soil;
- Any plant waste or extract that is not being used, because it
does not meet quality assurance or has been contaminated in some
way that would make it unusable in a safe and medical capacity;
and
- Liquids or water that could contaminate ground water due to
pesticide use.
Cannabis plant waste management practices
Whether professional growers are producing dried buds or collecting
resin for extraction, the steps of harvesting and processing
creates by-products and waste that must be disposed of according to
all applicable regulations. Growers must be aware of and comply
with the comprehensive regulatory scheme enacted by governing
bodies to ensure that environmental protections and safety are in
place.
Proper waste disposal regulations apply whether the grow
operation is a caregiver for a few patients or a large-scale
facility that supplies dispensaries. The legal responsibility is on
growers to ensure proper disposal.
Waste disposal regulations have been slowly adopted and are
being constantly updated through piecemeal legislation. This
complex legal framework makes any generalizations about disposal
requirements for growers difficult, because compliance must be
followed on a federal, provincial/state and municipal level, and it
varies widely.
"This is a valuable opportunity to bring together research and
development efforts from both Micron Waste and our development
partners to deliver an urgently needed organic waste
treatment system for the medical cannabis cultivation industry
that meets Health Canada Cannabis Waste disposal requirements,"
said Dr. Bharat Bhushan, Chief Technology Officer of Micron
Waste.
