It is no secret that single-use plastic packaging is an environmental problem. Plastic waste, much of it coming from plastic food packaging, is everywhere. And the concerns are mounting. As plastic pollution fills our landfills, waterways, and the oceans around the world, the call for reduction and elimination grows louder.<\/span><\/p>\n

The plastic pollution crisis doesn\u2019t just create waste; it also brings potential health risks. Certain chemicals in plastic packaging, like phthalates and bisphenols, can leach into our food, posing health risks, especially for infants and young children. Clearly, reducing plastic use in grocery stores is a priority\u2014but achieving that requires reliable, clear data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Survey of Plastic and Packaging in Canadian Grocery Stores<\/span><\/h2>\n

Environmental Defence Canada is an environmental advocacy organization that has been working at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels to decrease Canadians\u2019 exposure to toxic chemicals, end plastic pollution, tackle climate change, and build a clean economy. In 2024Environmental Defence Canada published a report called <\/span>Left Holding the Bag: A Survey of Plastic Packaging in Canada\u2019s Grocery Stores<\/span><\/i><\/a> and drew some startling insights. MCA led the on-site audit of major grocery retailers, analyzing data that shed light on just how much plastic packaging fills these stores.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overview of Key Findings<\/span><\/h3>\n

Across four key departments\u2014produce, baby food, pet food, and soups\u2014plastic was hard to avoid. In the produce section, for example, 71% of items were packaged in plastic, despite the fact that produce often has natural \u201cpackaging\u201d in the form of peels or skins. When it comes to baby food, single-use plastics dominate, with a hefty 76% of baby food items found in plastic. Those familiar glass jars? They\u2019re being replaced by plastic stand-up pouches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pet food is close behind at 66%, with a trend toward non-recyclable, flexible plastic packaging. And while soups fared slightly better with only 35% in plastic, the data still shows a preference for mixed-material, hard-to-recycle packaging types like aseptic cartons. There\u2019s a pattern here: convenience over sustainability, with high stakes for our health and the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Health and Environmental Impacts<\/span><\/h3>\n

The environmental and health implications are too big to ignore. In Canada, only about 15% of plastic packaging gets recycled; the rest? It ends up in landfills, incinerators, or, worse, natural habitats. And that\u2019s just the environmental side. When it comes to health, the risks are potentially more significant, but a great deal of research still needs to be done before we can draw firm conclusions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider phthalates and bisphenols, two common chemicals in plastics that can transfer into food and affect the human body. Phthalates, for instance, have been linked to reproductive health issues and developmental risks in children. This is particularly concerning for products like baby food, where packaging is in direct contact with consumables.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Challenges for Eliminating Plastic in Grocery Stores<\/span><\/h3>\n

This isn\u2019t just a matter of swapping out one package for another. Retailers face real challenges when trying to reduce plastic waste and even greater challenges if zero plastic waste is the end goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Retailers want to minimize food waste, and many turn to plastic packaging to keep products on the shelf longer. But, with consumer expectations shifting toward sustainability, stores are in a tight spot. How do they reduce plastic and keep prices and waste low? It\u2019s a balancing act, to say the least.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MCA\u2019s Contribution: Providing Clear Data for Better Decisions<\/span><\/h2>\n

MCA supports retailers across sectors by providing detailed, high-quality actionable intelligence. MCA\u2019s contribution to the Environmental Defence survey was pivotal in uncovering these trends. Their team conducted a robust audit across 54 Canadian grocery stores, analyzing more than 40,000 products for packaging type and in-store pricing incentives. That\u2019s a big job, but it\u2019s one that MCA handled with precision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without the clarity that MCA\u2019s data provided, it would be tough to understand the full picture.<\/span><\/p>\n
