A Newmarket, Ont. business has won Sobeys’ Plastic Waste Challenge. The challenge was a partnership with several Atlantic-based organizations, including Ignite Atlantic, Divert NS and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency to find ways to reduce plastic in stores, as reported by NewmarketToday. The packaging is made of sugarcane and bamboo fibre. Sobeys indicated it would be used in select stores in Nova Scotia for meat and seafood products.
