There has been substantial activity in recyclable packaging innovations as the 2025 targets to achieve 100% recyclable packaging get even closer. As the months of 2024 unfold, it will be interesting to observe how many companies revise their targets downward.

Walmart Canada is launching a national pilot program for customers to recycle their reusable shopping bags. Under the plan, customers can send in their extra or damaged Walmart reusable blue shopping bags to TerraCycle, who will either wash and donate them to charity partners, including Food Banks Canada, or recycle them. Recycled bags will be processed into raw materials for items like shipping pallets and outdoor furniture. Walmart Canada’s senior manager of sustainability stated that the program allows Canadians to give their excess or damaged reusable bags a second life, preventing them from ending up in landfills. Customers can sign up for the scheme on TerraCycle’s website and send bags in a box or shipping envelope with a minimum of five bags per shipment, provided with a free shipping label. Enrollment limits apply, and customers will be added to a waiting list if the program is full. Canada banned single-use plastic shopping bags in December 2022, but Walmart Canada had already stopped offering them in April that year to prevent a reported 680 million plastic bags from entering circulation annually.
