Reducing Single-use Plastics

Explore topics related to climate, sustainability, and energy efficiency!

Only a small percentage of the single-use plastics consumed by Ontarians in actually recycled.  Plastic can take hundreds of years to degrade and can end up in our water and food supplies.

Join KFPL and Ange Defosse of Kingston's own Harlowe Green refillery to learn about how you can reduce, or eliminate, the amount of single-use plastics you consume through bulk refillery shopping. 

Bulk refillery shopping allows consumers to buy products in the quantities they need while reusing containers they already have.

This program is in partnership with Sustainable Kingston.
