Can Carriers | Alternatives to Plastic Six-Pack Rings

Noticing fewer plastic rings in stores? It's because Canada has banned them. And finding an alternative to plastic rings isn't just a good idea - it's a necessity. So it’s crucial to choose an option that’s usable and doesn't just create more waste, defeating the purpose.
