Furthermore, we regularly receive requests to offer ever more eco-friendly packaging.<\/p><p>In an attempt to meet these goals, we conducted a study with the help of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctconsultant.ca\/home\">environmental life cycle assessment firm CT Consultant<\/a>.<\/p><p>We made three important observations, some of which may be surprising and far from \u201cGreen Washing\u201d:<\/p><ol><li>Greenhouse gases (GHG) are the biggest threat to our environment, according to scientific consensus.<\/li><li>Although packaging is a major concern for the general public, it actually represents less than 5% of a food company\u2019s GHG emissions, compared to about 80% for agriculture. So, by choosing local, mostly organic, ingredients, we are guaranteed to reduce our impact considerably.<\/li><li>Lastly, given the state of recycling in Quebec, the free-standing multi-layered plastic bags we use remain the best option available.
