This initiative, supported by Danone's Oikos brand – the country's leading high-protein Greek yogurt – marks a major step forward in the agri-food industry and in Danone's commitment to recyclability for its packaging.
This major project is being carried out with the support of the Gouvernement du Québec, notably through Investissement Québec, which is providing a $3 million loan, and RECYC-QUÉBEC, which is contributing a direct grant of $400,000. This initiative is in line with Québec's efforts to reduce plastic pollution and promote innovative, more sustainable packaging strategies.
This project illustrates Danone Canada's capacity for innovation within the Québec industry, and the importance of supporting concrete initiatives for a more durable future.
The new Oikos PET cups are already being deployed at points of sale across the country.
