It will also help you choose the right packaging and containers for your business. The right choice of containers will limit contamination of the final product, compost. On the market, many packaging manufacturers and suppliers offer a wide range of different products. Nevertheless, some products are labeled compostable without actually being compostable in all composting facilities. The processes used throughout Quebec are not the same, which explains the different instructions. Depending on the method, some packaging may be more difficult, or even impossible, to compost. They are then refused, as they cannot decompose properly. Compostable packaging must then be disposed of in the garbage can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find out more: <a href=\"https:\/\/d12oqns8b3bfa8.cloudfront.net\/mrcbm\/documents-policies-studies\/2023-12-08_Guide-vaisselle-compostable_V1.pdf?v=1702924353\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">compostable dishes accepted in Brome-Missisquoi<\/a> (in French only)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-circle-right\"><\/i> Please note that the guide includes contact details for several suppliers of compostable dishes in Quebec, Canada and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the MRC has created this <a href=\"https:\/\/cldbm.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2023-12_20_Infographie_PUU.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">document<\/a> summarizing the <strong>alternatives to single-use plastics<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"544\" height=\"705\" src=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Alternatives-aux-plastiques-a-usage-unique.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Alternatives-aux-plastiques-a-usage-unique.png 544w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Alternatives-aux-plastiques-a-usage-unique-231x300.png 231w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t forget your can access the MRC Brome-Missisquoi <a href=\"https:\/\/d12oqns8b3bfa8.cloudfront.net\/mrcbm\/documents-policies-studies\/2023-12-08_Guide-vaisselle-compostable_V1.pdf?v=1702924353\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guide<\/a> (in French only), produced in collaboration with the CLD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MRC Brome-Missisquoi, in collaboration with the CLD, recently produced a guide on compostable tableware accepted in Brome-Missisquoi.
