2024 Mobius Awards - Small Business of the Year

Divert NS hosted the 24th annual Mobius Awards of Environmental Excellence Gala at the Halifax Convention Centre to recognize and celebrate innovative Nova Scotians who are leaders in environmental action and waste reduction.

North Shore Ballast and Concrete Works has proven innovative ways to divert significant tonnages of old materials from landfill including most of the province’s end-of-life wire lobster traps, which are large and made of a variety of materials, making it a challenge to dispose of properly. North Shore sources these traps from the fisher community in Nova Scotia and repurposes every part into new products, such as using repurposed materials to reinforce their concrete ballasts for long-lasting, stronger products. In doing so, North Shore has diverted over 10,000 lobster traps from our landfills.
