Video Script & Investigation
Compostable waste bags: which ones are actually Canadian-owned? Glad belongs to Clorox, which bought out Procter and Gambleβs stake in January and now owns it outright. Hefty is Reynolds Consumer Products. Ziploc is S.C. Johnson. All three American. Here are three that are not. Bag to Earth has made kraft paper in Napanee, Ontario since 1946, and its own site says Canadian-owned and operated. Earth Rated was founded in Montreal in 2009 and is still Canadian-owned and privately held. And EcoSafe Zero Waste has been a Canadian-owned company in Surrey, British Columbia since 1999. Canadian-owned. Canadian rooted. This is Canadian made.
