A groundbreaking partnership between CLS Holdings USA, Inc. and AE Global’s Talk Trash Initiative is set to eliminate 27,000 lbs of ocean-bound plastic by 2025. The Nevada-based dispensary, Oasis Cannabis Dispensary, is leading the charge towards sustainability by introducing certified plastic-negative exit bags. This initiative aims to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste and promote a cleaner, more eco-friendly future.
Jordan Ascanio, Creative Director of CLS Holdings USA Inc., emphasized the significance of this partnership in driving sustainability within the cannabis industry. The new exit bags from Oasis are made from 20% post-consumer recycled material and feature certified plastic-negative packaging. For every unit produced, double the amount of plastic used in manufacturing is removed from the environment. The initial order is expected to fund the removal of over 9,000 lbs of plastic, with a projected total of 27,000 lbs in 2025, equivalent to preventing over 1 million plastic bottles from entering the ocean.
Mike Forenza, CEO of AE Global, applauded Oasis for its leadership in adopting sustainable packaging practices without compromising on quality or innovation. CLS Holdings USA Inc. plans to expand the use of sustainable packaging to its City Trees brand through the Talk Trash program, furthering its commitment to environmental conservation.
