One Packaging Decision Already Avoided More Than 5,200 Single-Use Plastic Bags

Calipso International and Beirut Annunciation Orthodox College agreed to bulk-package one uniform item instead of using individual plastic bags — already avoiding more than 5,200 single-use plastic bags this year. That result was the spark for the Green Initiative, now growing into a full program of reusable products and returnable packaging. This result is expected to increase further this year, as Beirut Annunciation Orthodox College has begun implementing the Green Initiative program through reusable solutions designed to replace the plastic bag used on uniform collection day.
