The Government of Canada has announced Magemi Mining Inc. as the winner of the Canadian Plastics Innovation Challenge on Sustainable Alternatives to Plastic Packaging. Magemi Mining is a Markham-based company that will receive up to $1 million to develop a prototype of its proposed sustainable alternative to plastic packaging – a reduced graphene oxide reinforced recycled paper. This product is durable, highly recyclable, and could replace single-use plastic in various applications, such as plastic grocery bags while maintaining convenience and accessibility. Learn more.
