On October 26, 2017 Orgaworld Canada Ltd. was convicted of nine (9) offences under the Environmental Protection Act and fined $900,000 plus the 25% victim fine surcharge. Orgaworld was given a period of three (3) months to pay the fine.

The conviction related to two separate investigations conducted by the Ministry of the Environmental and Climate Change ("MOECC") relating to the discharge of odours from the Orgaworld facility located in London, Ontario. Orgaworld was convicted of nine counts of discharging an odour, being a contaminant, and fined $100,000 for each offence.

The MOECC also issued an order to Orgaworld only allowing it to operate at 30% capacity in order to reduce odours.
