I saw on the Ville de Gatineau’s website (I live in Gatineau, QC) that cereal bags are not recyclable (they are waxed or something like that). Until they’re recyclable and biodegradable, I’m going to buy my cereal in bulk with recyclable plastic bags (and hopefully biodegradable too), that I will reuse as poop bags afterward.

Even if cereal bags become recyclable/biodegradable, buying in bulk is still better for the environment because it uses less packaging: one reusable/bio bag instead of a box and a bag… and you can put more cereal in the one bag.

I usually shop at Bulk Barn for my bulk food needs.

I recently sent them an email, suggesting them to make their bags biodegradable (for the food and purchases). Hopefully they take it!
