Single Use Plastics Ban Canada

Green Product Sourcing

We know we can make a difference, and so can you. That’s why we work with our suppliers to bring you recyclable or certified green products and choose manufacturers with sustainable production practices. We also offer a Green Line paper and plastic products made from post-consumer recycled materials.

Eco-Responsibility Day-to-Day

• If the lights don’t need to be on, they aren’t. End of story.
• Our e-warehouse system eliminates paper documents and dramatically reduces the need for recycling and waste management.
• Recycling programs are in place at every Bunzl facility.
• Our trucks produce fewer emissions thanks to a tracking system that reduces idling time.

Recycling Solutions

Our Bag-to-Bag program takes empty packaging back to the manufacturer to be recycled. And our closed-loop recycling solutions aim to reduce as much plastic, cardboard, aluminum and paper as possible from reaching landfills.

Besides helping the environment, it helps to reduce the cost of packaging. Some might call that a bonus – we call it good business.
