Thank You to Sobeys Inc., a Leader in Sustainable Initiatives
Eco Guardian will receive a $25,000 cash prize from Sobeys, as well as the opportunity to pilot the concept in select Sobeys stores in Nova Scotia, and pending the launch of the pilot, an additional $25,000 from Divert NS to support the launch. Additionally, we will receive a 12-month residency package with Ignite Atlantic, and continued engagement with the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA).
This challenge gave us the chance to come up with an innovative solution for reducing hard-to-recycle plastics, especially in a way that consumers will notice and appreciate. We are excited for the opportunity to work with Sobeys to engage in discussions around piloting our solution in some of Sobeys’ Nova Scotia stores. This product has been years in the making, and we are nothing but proud to see it gain the recognition it deserves.
We thank Sobeys Inc. for their innovation and leadership in creating this challenge and allowing us to participate in their pilot project. It’s Sobeys’ direct approach that will help us to eliminate single-use plastics on our grocery shelves.
