Overview of 2M Ressources
Founded in 1999 by businessman Michel Marquis, the first factory was in Montreal under the Turcot interchange until 2006, the company subsequently moved to new facilities in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu in order to expand, the interest of the city at the time to settle in the industrial sector leaning in the balance.
By 2020, a multi-million dollar investment in the U.S. state of Massachusetts, 2M Resources is extending its reputation for excellence to all players in its field, becoming a leader through a network of customers upstream and downstream of the recycling process primarily in northeastern North America.
With this American expansion, the Canadian division will be able to absorb future glass volume with the expansion of the deposit. This reputation for excellence is fuelled on a day-to-day basis by superior operational performance – meeting deadlines, state-of-the-art equipment and processes, competitive costs – but also by industry-recognized research and development leadership that has led to significant technological innovations.
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors,
we borrow it from our children.
Social Responsibility
The notion of sustainable development—development that meets today’s needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs—is of particular importance at a time when we are facing climate change, dwindling natural resources and world population growth.
As creators of wealth and consumers of resources, companies have a key role to play. Any initiative aimed at maximizing the use of non-renewable resources or reducing waste and pollution makes a significant contribution to the wellbeing of our children and grand children.
At 2M Ressources, we’re constantly striving to improve our operational efficiency while reducing our use of resources—always doing more with less. And, thanks to our recovery centre, we also help our clients to significantly reduce their ecological footprint. In fact, together with our clients, we are creating and maintaining an environmentally responsible supply chain.
Did you know that using recycled material to make glass has the following benefits?
Natural resources are preserved by replacing sand with silica, limestone and soda ash.
Energy is saved, as recycled glass melts more easily and quickly than natural raw materials.
Greenhouse gas is reduced as a result of lower CO2 emissions.
Significantly less waste is sent to landfill sites.
We are a certified conditioner with RECYC-QUÉBEC and BGE (BoissonsGazeusesEnvironnement) and are certified by the Canada Border Services Agency for the destruction of goods.
