Walmart Canada is launching a national pilot program for customers to recycle their reusable shopping bags.
Under the plan, customers will be able 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 that can be used to make things like shipping pallets and outdoor furniture, Walmart said.
"This first-of-its-kind national recycling pilot program will allow Canadians to give their excess or damaged reusable blue bags a second life, free of charge, preventing them from taking up space at home or heading to landfill," Walmart Canada senior manager of sustainability Jennifer Barbazza said in the release.
