Bimbo Canada announced on Monday that all its bread products will only use compostable clips by June 2022, starting at its commercial bakery in New Brunswick.
Bread clips or tags come in the form of little, hard plastic closures that are primarily used to keep plastic bags closed. They’re most often found in the form of polystyrene, a hard-to-recycle plastic that is used in packaging.
Bimbo Canada says the cardboard bread tags are made from 100 per cent recycled cardboard and are compostable in municipal systems across Canada.
This move is also in line with the federal government’s announcement to ban certain single-use plastic items sometime in 2022.
