Wal-Mart Canada pushes sustainability

In late June, Wal-Mart Canada hosted a sustainable packaging exposition, billed as the first of its kind in that country, to support its goal to reduce the amount of packaging on products its stores sell by 5% by 2013.

Entitled, “Cradle to Cradle,” the exposition included more than 100 Wal-Mart Canada suppliers, and more than 65 exhibitors demonstrating everything from renewable resources to sustainable packaging design. Visit www.walmartfacts.com.
