Meet Kevin Bernard, Our Founder

Kevin Bernard is a lifelong Mainer who has worked in the real estate market as a broker specialized in investment properties, property management, and the redevelopment of derelict buildings with investors for most of his career. Kevin began helping with cannabis business owners to secure lease space for their operations while working as a broker. He noticed no one was talking about marijuana waste management while addressing operational issues with clients. This reality fueled Kevin’s desire to develop a critical auxiliary business that was absent from Maine’s cannabis sector. Kevin created the Cannawaste Recycling business model on regulatory compliance and environmental sustainability after doing significant market research. Our painstaking labor has established a professional waste management firm that is leading the way in discovering cannabis waste solutions in Maine. We’re assisting clients in reducing trash quantities, reusing the material gathered to create innovative new products, and recycling tons of organic waste one business at a time.

OUR CONSERVATIONAL SERVICES

Cannawaste Recycling offers a variety of services to ensure that your cannabis business is adhering to state regulations. Providing you with affordable ways to reduce your overall carbon footprint and aid in environmental conservation, we offer a unique service in that we take your waste from your cannabis location, burn/reduce it and create biochar. Not only does our method of pyrolysis manufacturing create a carbon sink process, potentially reducing your carbon footprint, but the biochar can also be upcycled and reused in a variety of ways that can help society achieve environmental sustainability for consumers.

We also provide track and trace documentation for clients on our collection routes, using our bill of lading system, establishing a cycle of life, and providing a destruction date, all within your supply chain.

We are also aiding marijuana and hemp stakeholders and farmers in finding an environmentally sustainable future for the Maine cannabis community and the industry as a whole.
