During Earth Month, schools were challenged to learn and take action on plastics waste by reducing their use, while collecting discarded plastic bags (that cannot be reused) for recycling in their schools and beyond to be dropped at Walmart locations across Canada.

 

To maintain value of the material collected in the Plastic Bag Grab and demonstrate the viability of domestic markets, every plastic bag collected in the challenge was processed and remanufactured in Canada for use in new products, including ground stabilization grids for stables to prevent flooding.
