OCEAN WISE LAUNCHES NEW PLASTIC-REDUCTION PROGRAM ON EARTH DAY

Today is Earth Day — a fitting time for @oceanwise to announce their innovative new Plastic Reduction Partner Program which invites restaurants and foodservice businesses across Canada to join them in a quest to reduce the more than 11 million tons of plastic waste that enter the world’s oceans annually.

Offered free of charge for the first year thanks to funding from @canenvironment, @vancitycu and @drink_vivreau, restaurants will work with the Ocean Wise Plastic Reduction Program team to devise a plan together.

“The Ocean Wise Plastic Reduction Program isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. We recognize that each business will be at a different point on their plastic-reduction journey, and we will work with restaurant partners to understand their plastic use, identify science-based solutions and set realistic targets,” says Laura Hardman, Plastic Free Oceans Leader at Ocean Wise.
