As regulatory requirements evolve and social expectations rise, the waste and environmental services industry is facing unprecedented pressure. Manual paperwork, disconnected systems, and fragmented communication slow down operations and increase compliance risks.
As regulatory requirements evolve and social expectations rise, the waste and environmental services industry is facing unprecedented pressure. Manual paperwork, disconnected systems, and fragmented communication slow down operations and increase compliance risks.
The expansion of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs, circular economy initiatives, and federal materials oversite are imposing immediate regulatory demands, requiring organizations to modernize systems, improve data capture, and maintain defensible operational transparency.
Organizations that modernize their workflows are now better positioned to meet escalating demands while gaining efficiency, accuracy, and a sustained competitive advantage.
WiQ's service offerings are designed to work independently or together, delivering flexible, end to end support that modernizes the full waste management lifecycle for ICI operations, while ensuring compliance, automation, and real-time traceability.
Our services are tailored to meet your needs giving teams a single source of truth that eliminates administrative bottlenecks, and keeps operations compliant across multiple programs and provinces.
The WiQ application is designed to operate across multiple jurisdictions and has been built to consider the varying provincial and federal requirements.
The WiQ application currently supports regulatory frameworks from:
Alberta Environment and Protected Areas
Alberta Energy Regulator
Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment
Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources
British Columbia Ministry of Environment and Parks *(limited capacity)
British Columbia Energy Regulator* (limited capacity)
Transport Canada
Environment and Climate Change Canada
WiQ is always looking to expand our jurisdictional reach! We see this as a tool for all Canadians, no matter what province you operate in.
A Canadian tool for the Canadian economy.
If you have operations in areas not covered within the application, it is more likely than not that we are already working on entering that area.
Partnerships are a key driver to make our dream a reality. If you are interested in joining WiQ on our journey, reach out and help us shape the future of material movements in Canada.
No matter the industry, from forestry to mining to manufacturing, one thing remains consistent - if we produce a product or a good, we produce a waste.
The types of waste may change between industries, but the legislation that drives the management of these materials is applied consistently in the province where you operate.
WiQ was designed to assist all types of industry manage their waste materials, including but not limited to
- Mining and mineral processing
- Forestry and wood products
- Manufacturing and industrial facilities
- Automotive and aerospace
- Agricultural operations
- Municipal and public-sector services
- Educational institutions
- Healthcare operations
- and everything in between.

Yes!
Paper workflows and processes are not meeting the productivity requirements needed for today's society. Improving traceability, accountability and efficiency is required to keep up and stay competitive.
Moving to a digital platform helps industry solve the challenges but regulatory barriers often block companies from going fully digital.
Until now!
WiQ worked closely with Transport Canada and received the first of its kind Equivalency Certificate (EC) for electronic shipping documentation.
WiQ's EC allows subscribers and their transporters to remove the piece of paper required during transportation allowing for a fully digital process.
No more fully paper processes, no more hybrid processes, but a first of its kind true digital process.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Federal Plastics Registry (FPR) and other circular economy initiatives are growing and evolving how society manages their end of life materials.
Surfacing and compiling waste data through WiQ enables industry to closely look at their outputs, find efficiencies, and maintain compliance with internal or government led programs.
By expanding the WiQ ecosystem to accommodate the movement of materials through these programs, we can provide a level of oversite not previously available through traditional paper processes.
Ask WiQ how we can help you improve the quality and consistency of your data used to ensure compliance with these programs.
WiQ is designed to integrate smoothly into the systems you already have in place. WiQ connects through flexible APIs and webhooks to minimize disruption and avoiding duplicate data entry.
This allows organizations to digitize, enhance compliance, and improve reporting without replacing operational systems.
We work alongside your existing technology stack, enhancing visibility, accuracy, and audit readiness while maintaining establised processes.
