They are also attempting to do their part for the environment through the implementation of an in-store recycling program — with the help of TerraCycle — where customers can drop off the plastic packaging, from any brand, with confidence knowing they will be properly recycled.

Sustainability is also a key concern to one of the “greenest” markets: cannabis. Canada’s first nationwide cannabis packaging recycling program has been rolled out by recycling experts TerraCycle and cannabis brand Tweed. Last year, Canada became the second country after Uruguay to legalize recreational cannabis use. Tweed has voiced the need for a recycling system for all the new containers, tubes and packages created by the growing cannabis industry, in a bid to divert these away from landfills and upcycling them into other products.

Le programme nommé TerraCycle a été lancé il y a sept mois et il n’en est encore qu’à ses débuts, explique la porte-parole Courtney Langille. Elle ajoute qu’il était important pour Canopy Growth de travailler de façon collaborative pour relever ces défis.

Canopy Growth, which operates its recreational cannabis division under the brand "Tweed," partners with TerraCycle, a recycling company that has brought the recycling box program to stores in seven provinces, including New Brunswick.

Tweed, part of Canopy Growth Corporation, has launched a nation-wide recycling program for used cannabis packaging, a first-ever in Canada. The initiative is in partnership with TerraCycle, a Toronto-based company that gives new life to old plastics.
