A CANADIAN COMPANY
OUR COMMITMENT ...
... AND MORE
THE PAPERBOARD WE USE FOR OUR FOOD AND BEVERAGES ARE SUSTAINABLY SOURCED THROUGH COMPANIES THAT ARE ALIGNED WITH THE FSC (FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL). THROUGH FSC CERTIFIED MATERIALS, THIS IS OUR ASSURANCE THAT THE MATERIAL WE USE ARE MADE WITH, OR CONTAINS, FOREST-BASED MATERIALS FROM FSC-CERTIFIED FORESTS OR RECLAIMED SOURCES.
REDUCING WASTE
ANOTHER KEY COMPONENT OF OUR MISSION IS TO REDUCE WASTE AND A WAY TO GET THERE IS THROUGH OUR CHOICE OF PACKAGING ALIGNED WITH OUR BOLD PURPOSE.
OUR CHOICE OF PACKAGING REFLECTS OUR MISSION TO HELP REDUCE FOOD WASTE AND ITS EFFECT ON CLIMATE CHANGE. WE LOOK AT REDUCING FOOD WASTE FROM THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN FROM GROWING EACH PLANT FROM A SEED TO PREPARING THE FINISHED PRODUCT INTO A CONTAINER. WE ACHIEVE THIS BY PARTNERING WITH THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN OF COMPANIES THAT IS ALIGNED WITH THE SAME PURPOSE.
OUR MYLK IN OUR CARTON CONTAINERS ARE PREPARED WITH NO CHEMICALS AND ARE PACKED TO STAY FRESH FOR 9-12 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF FOOD PRODUCTION WITHOUT THE NEED OF REFRIGERATION BEFORE OPENING. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THE REDUCTION OF USING REFRIGERATED PANTRIES TO STORE UNOPENED MYLK CARTONS.
RECYCLABLE
OUR PACKAGING IS RECYCLABLE. OUR MILK CARTONS ARE PRIMARILY MADE OF PAPERBOARD (75%) WHICH HAS A LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT AS ITS MAIN RAW MATERIAL – WOOD FIBRE, CAN BE RENEWABLE. OUR ICE CREAM CONTAINERS ARE MADE WITH PAPERBOARD THAT CAN BE RECYCLED.
