Climate change, pests and unsustainable harvesting have left the Canadian forestry industry vulnerable. But as wildfires across the country decimate large swaths of Canada’s remaining forests, a Vancouver non-profit is helping companies find alternatives to pulp and paper-based packaging. In order to meet its climate targets, Canada must transition away from its heavy reliance on forestry, which contributes $34.8 billion to the country’s nominal GDP. …Nicole Rycroft is the founder of Canopy, a Vancouver-based environmental non-profit that has worked with over 900 companies worldwide to implement circular supply chains and reduce deforestation. Canopy aims to help companies transition away from single-use paper packaging and cellulosic fabrics that are sourced from logging and instead use recycled, discarded materials and sustainable alternatives. .And if the companies still need to source some of their packaging or fabric from wood-based pulp and paper mills, Canopy ensures they only use products… sourced from sites certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
