Recycle or compost?

Compostable

Compostable products are products that are labelled as decomposable when placed in an environment with favourable conditions. Those are certified to decompose in nature within a known and precise timeframe. When they are decomposing, they provide supplements to plants, mushrooms and other organisms.

Recyclable

Recyclable products are reintroduced in the consumption cycle by a recycling process that decomposes used products into various materials, which are then partly used to conceive new products.

Biodegradable

Biodegradable products are labelled as decomposable when place in an environment with favourable conditions. However, those are not certified to decompose in nature within a known and precise timeframe but rather on long and undefined periods.

Together against climate changes

By partnering with Enviro Educ-Action, we are implementing plans and taking actions that allow our staff to get a better understanding of the impact of packaging, sanitation and the industrial field on the environment. With this new knowledge, we can offer you eco-friendly solutions that will positively impact your ecological footprint without compromising the quality or utility of the products. By building relationships and partnerships of this kind together, we are aiming to become a leader in the distribution of eco-friendly solutions in the fields of food and industrial packaging as well as in sanitation.

In 2019

We changed our lightning system in our warehouse for a new LED system, consuming less electricity than ever

Les matières recyclables

	(PETE) Polyethylene terephtalate Transparent high rigidity plastic mostly used for disposable water bottles.
	(HDPE) High Density Polyethylene Translucent plastic with excellent resistance to impact. Commonly used for packaging products such as shampoo and milk bottle.
	(PVC) Polychlorure Vinyle Tough, flexible and resistant to chemicals derived from polyethylene. PVC is a plastic often used for detergent bottles.
	(LDPE) Low-Density Polyethylene Flexible and thin plastic with many applications such as plastic bags, garbage bags or film.
	(PP) Polypropylene Lowest density plastic with high melting point chosen for hot application.
	(PS) Polystyrene Known as Styrofoam, characterized by its excellent insulation property. Polystyrene is widely used for disposable cups and meat trays.
	(AU) Other Plastic resins that do not belong to any of the other resin code listed above. It includes some that are made from plants (polylactic acid) and therefore compostable.

Certifications and logos to know

EcoLogo is Canada's most respected environmental standard and certification mark. This eco-label compares products within the same category throughout their entire life cycle using scientifically rigorous standards.

Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) logo certifies that a product is compostable as it has undergone rigorous tests conducted in laboratories. This certification applies to laminated paper, plant starch, bagasse and guarantees compostability of these products.

Ingeo is a synthetic fiber made from corn as it's processed through fermentation and separation to create a polyacid resin that is compostable and can be used to produce plastic goods and many others.

FSC is an international labelling system that certifies that wood, paper and other forest products come from a responsible and sustainable managed forest.

The internationally known ENERGY STAR symbol identifies products that are the most effective on the market in terms of energy. Those products reduce your global consumption of electricity.
