From The MNB ArchivesFriday, January 25, 2019One Word, Plastics, Is Focus Of Waste Reduction Efforts
Bloomberg reports that at the Davos World Economic Forum this week, Walmart Canada announced that it will be reducing plastic bag use by 2025 in a way “that will take about 1 billion bags out of circulation, and replacing single-use plastic straws with paper alternatives by 2020.” At the same time, fast feeder KFC announced that all its “plastic-based, consumer-facing packaging will be recoverable or reusable by 2025.” KC's View:
I’m still waiting to hear a legitimate, reasoned argument for why a company wouldn’t want to do its best to eliminate waste in every way possible. It may have short-term fiscal implications, but more companies need to think about long-term sustainability, and use their bully pulpits to persuade consumers to come along with them. PWS 59 |
