Not having a sustainability program is garbage! Trash cans can be more than wasted space. If you didn’t make it to MJBizCon 2024, here’s what you missed: Every trash, recycling, and compost bin at the event was decked out with info on Talk Trash—our bold initiative to tackle the global ocean-bound plastic crisis. Did you know about 80% of ocean plastic comes from land? That’s why stopping it before it hits the water is a game-changer. We’ve already kicked off this mission in the Dominican Republic, and we’re always on the lookout for partners to help us expand. Attendees at MJBizCon this year got to learn more about this in-your-face movement and how AEG can be part of their sustainability stories—without sacrificing quality or raising costs. If you're ready to build an authentic sustainability story for your brand and explore packaging solutions that make an impact, we’re here to help. Ready to make an impact? Let’s Talk Trash!
