Choices Markets in 琉璃神社 is taking steps to become more sustainable and eco-friendly and complying to the Government of Canada鈥檚 announcement to ban single-use plastics by 2021.
As of July 1, 2019, the market has removed single-serve plastic water bottles off their shelves, started offering cardboard boxes instead of plastic bags, and started selling reusable produce bags.
The market also offers reusable bags and 100% post-consumer recycled paper bags but encourages patrons to bring their own reusable grocery bags whenever possible.
