Waste problems from single use (disposable) products are one of the topics that is often discussed in our Sustainability Marketing class. When we listed up the number of disposable products in one of our classes, I was genuinely surprised by the number of such products. And, as many of you know, plastic bags, packaging, and containers are no exception. <\/span>There are more than two million plastic bags handed out every week in Vancouver<\/span><\/a> and as I mentioned in my past post, millions of dollars have been spent on this \u201cgarbage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to 2020 greenest city action plan, Vancouver also has announced its plan to eliminate waste by 2040. <\/span>The city aims to reduce the solid waste going to the landfill by 50% from 2008 levels<\/span><\/a>, and one of their main strategies for this plan is \u201c<\/span>Single-Use Item Reduction Strategy<\/span><\/i><\/a>.\u201d (#ReduceSingleUse)<\/span><\/p>\n

So\u2026 what can we do to reduce single-use products?<\/span><\/p>\n
