Plastic

Several growers are presently experimenting with bio-based containers to reduce the impact of production on the environment.

The 2011 version of the National Plastics Recycling event saw over 76,000 pounds of material collected across Canada from June 25 to July 4.

In just its second year, some significant changes are coming to Canada’s national program to recycle horticultural plastic.

Thanks to the dedication of several CNLA and LO staff, and the commitment of many LO members, over 120 skids of plastic were collected during National Plastic Recycling Week.

Green industry companies are asked to bring their used plastic pots, tags and trays to Landscape Ontario’s home office for recycling, from June 28 to July 5.
