Restoration Builders, Inc. announced today that it has added Hubert Bourque to its ESG and Technology Group. He will guide the design, operations, and environmental performance of technologies that align with the company's sustainability and environmental policies.
Hubert Bourque is the Founder of XWM Services, Inc., a Montreal, Canada-based waste management, environmental compliance, and renewable energy consulting firm. The company provides advisory services on waste processing and disposal facility planning, development, and control, focusing on integrating recycling principles and energy recovery from organic materials. He is a recognized expert in the field, with a record of building solid relationships with government agencies and environmental groups.
Mr. Bourque brings over 40 years of experience in waste management, environmental compliance, and renewable energy industries.

He represented the company at Parliamentary commissions, public hearings, and consultations. In addition, he served as the liaison to local and provincial elected officials. A strong advocate of sustainable and renewable technologies, he has led several major renewable energy projects. This includes a 1 billion cubic feet per year landfill methane project for an international paper products manufacturer with approximately $4 billion in annual revenue.
In addition, he served as Chief Compliance Officer at USA Waste Services in Dallas, TX, before its merger with Waste Management. He developed and implemented environmental compliance programs for seven landfills in multiple states. He oversaw the preparation of environmental due diligence assessments to acquire landfills, transfer stations, and recycling facilities. Mr. Bourque also served as the Founding President of the Canada Landfill Gas Industry Alliance and was the past Chairman of the Board for ECO Canada (Environmental Careers Organization of Canada).
