You've probably noticed our new recyclable and compostable cardboard bread ties. We are the first national bakery company in North America to use this new technology. By doing this for the environment, we are eliminating nearly 200 tonnes of plastic thanks to this innovation from a Quebec company. We are proud of this association with a local company that shares our environmental values.
