An Ontario grower is cutting back on plastic used on produce
Westmoreland Topline Farms are growing fresh cucumbers to ship across the country. Usually, they are wrapped in plastic to lock in freshness and keep the produce from spoiling prematurely. Instead, they are treated with a plant-based spray developed by Apeel Sciences that is edible, tasteless and extends the natural shelf life of a cucumber.
