NEWS RELEASE
ECO GUARDIAN
*************************
Imagine a small business tucked away on Leslie Street in Newmarket with a mission of saving the planet and, in a sense, winning the battle by being one of the fastest growing companies in Canada — five years in a row.
Fifteen years ago, Eco Guardian's simple idea — of replacing single-use plastic bags with reusable bags to reduce the staggering amount of plastic bags that are polluting the planet — has turned into a portfolio of environmentally friendly products. Today they have been selected on the Canadian Business' Growth 500 List for the fifth consecutive year.
Pure Products. Clean Future. is the statement that summarizes Eco Guardian's vision. Anil Abrol, president and CEO, is humbled and delighted to see the progress of his idea and attributes the success to his dedicated team and valued customers.
"All I knew at the time was that I wanted a cleaner planet and thought that replacing single-use plastic bags with reusable bags would be a great start. That idea has led us to creating a portfolio of environmentally friendly food service and food packaging products to replace single-use plastic in the food service industry," explained Abrol.
In Canada, up to 15 billion plastic bags are used every year. Abrol's reusable bag idea certainly has grown since then; the company now develops, markets and sells tableware and food service packaging containers for take-out, delivery, grab and go, home-meal-replacement, in-room and in-flight service, food processors and retailers; that can be composted, recycled or reused.
With the recent announcement of the Canadian plastics ban going into play in 2021, Canada is catching up to Eco Guardian's vision of a cleaner planet. Eco Guardian hopes to continue growing as their continued growth means less single-use plastic is being used, that they say, is a win-win.
