As of October 2020, the Government of Canada has issued a comprehensive that aims to completely phase out single-use plastics by 2030. With plastic polluting our rivers, lakes, oceans and wildlife, microplastics are constantly ending up in our water supply and into our bodies. Every year, Canadians throw away 3 million tonnes of plastic waste, and only 9% is recycled. The vast majority of plastics end up in landfills and about 29,000 tonnes find its way into our natural environment. Canadians expect the Government to take action to protect the environment and to reduce plastic pollution across the country.
Solubag’s vision is to work alongside the Government of Canada to offer a solution. Not only are our bags 100% dissolvable, but they also leave behind no microplastics. We hope that on Canada’s journey to be plastic-free, we can offer a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution.
